The price a country is willing to pay to see the sea
This is just nuts...

Quote:
Plans for a tunnel linking Bolivia to the Pacific Ocean have been unveiled by three architects who say it could put an end to a 130 year-old dispute between the landlocked country and its neighbour, Chile.
...
According to the plan, the tunnel would run under the so-called Line of Concord which separates Chile and Peru.
But both Peru and Chile dispute the border.
To go ahead, the project would also need the approval of Peru.
And there are doubts about whether there would be the political will at a time when Peru and Bolivia are arguing about Peru's decision to grant asylum to former opposition leaders from Bolivia.
In addition, the artificial island would be created in waters claimed both by Peru and Chile.
