were dressed in thick clothing, some as indigenous Bolivians
wearing coats, hats, and wool ponchos in line with the
fictional setting.
Market stalls selling fruit were constructed
with palm trees and parasols, and trucks loaded with bananas
and bags of food completed the scene. The vehicles had
registrations in keeping with Bolivia.
Filming comprised of scenes where 007's

on
the tail of drug traffickers.
As MI6
reported yesterday, filming will move on to various
locations in the city and further afield, including the
Institute of Culture (INAC) building in Panama City which
will be transformed into the Grand Hotel Andean. |
