| El Diario article. If you know the people in the photo you might want to inform them that they are now considered drug traffickers in Bolivia. |
The article discusses the use of "backpackers" for transporting drugs across the borders. And the photo of the article then nicely shows a foreign backpacker couple.

Thinking of visiting Bolivia as a backpacker? Think again...
