Outside the capital of Nicaragua, Managua, is one of the biggest land-fill sites in the Americas, generated by the one million residents, about a quarter of the entire population of the country.
La Chewrayka lies to the north of Managua, on the south shore of Lake Managua. More than 40 years old, the dump grew rapidly after Nicaragua's devastating earthquake.
