World's scariest street where 'suicide home' front doors are just inches from deadly 200ft drop

Residents living in flimsy shacks on the edge a 200ft cliff have refused to move out – despite warnings from city officials that the steep rock face is eroding. The dwellings, dubbed "suicide homes", are mere inches away from plunging into razor sharp rocks lying at the bottom, but locals living in them won't move out - even after warnings from experts that the site is on the verge of collapse. The colourful shacks, in El Alto, Bolivia, often serve as workplaces for Aymara shamans, known as yatiris.

Yatiris are medical practitioners and community "healers" among the Aymara of Bolivia, Chile and Peru, whose role it is to improve health, prosperity, fertility and luck - and to heal negative energies. Image: Getty..
