Lonely Planet travels three days up into the mountains of Colombia to visit a cocaine factory. Leaving behind the protection of the military and police, they rely on the paramilitaries for safety.

Paying $9 each, they gain entrance to the cocaine factory, and see how coke is made from a tonne of leaves to produce a final 1 kg of pure cocaine.
