Bloody Wicked!, 10/10 from me
Well, I just looked at this site and clicked around some points marked as a road near where they entered Chile, and the altitude definitely comes up north of 15,000.I can assure you you can easily tweak those Garmin GPS units to show any altitude you like. Just "calibrate" the altimeter manually with wrong values.
man i'm from Chile and i've been there close to the chungara lake (wiki that) and the altittude it's acctually 15,000 feet you can't even get 10 steps without needing a brakeNot to be a poopypants here, but we really only saw the altimeter going over 16,000 feet, we can't be sure about the men. Although, I'm not sure how else they'd fudge it to be honest. Unless a local 'second unit' took it with them.
Curiously according to wiki "The vast majority of helicopters cannot fly above around 8000 ft." so that would account for the lack of fancy heli shots.
There is absolutely no faking about the altitude part. I was at [nearly] the summit of pikes peak (14,000ft) for an entire day (14+ hours) and by the time we left, I was weak, my head hurt like crazy, my arms and legs were tingly and numb, and I was nearly throwing up. I was never short of breath though.
Or set it alight and roll it down the dune in a Chilean-style Viking funeral.
I was just thinking the same thing and came to a very similar conclusion. They had to pick a locally built car and drive across the Simpson.
