Think your commute is tough? Well, consider what the residents of Los Pinos, Colombia do every day to get to work and school.

Because their remote village is in the mountains, “commuters” have to use a zip line cable to get across a 1,200-foot-deep gorge. And each one has to bring his or her own pulley, rope, and a piece of wood to act as a brake when they get to the other side.

The alternative is a two-hour hike around the gorge.
