     The steep hills of the Yungas Valley long posed a daunting and exhausting task for farmers wanting to transport their precious coca crop to buyers...usually narco processors.
     But...they have devised a quick (:30 seconds)...and high flying solution...some 20 zip lines.
     Now...they are called 'the flying men of the Yungas'...as they whip over the dense jungle... 650 feet below.
     'On our ropes...we are like birds...and we go faster than astronauts,' said a young boy.
