Colombia

Everything in this book invites us to marvel at the Colombian tropics. As the point of convergence of the tectonic plates, flora and fauna of three American continents, the world's two largest oceans and its most variegated mountains, it is a territory of excess. The restless lens of Aldo Brando focuses on this natural setting, furnishing us with a panoply of images that excite both the eye and the imagination. As he eminent Colombian writer Germán Arciniegas points out, this book is "a vertical exploration of a country which is the synthesis of the Americas." Novel and unique, it is a summary of fifteen years work by a photojournalist whose documentation of wild life goes beyond capturing the physical contours of the seas, islands, jungles, savannahs, mountains and inhabitants of Colombia. "It penetrates into the beauty and soul" of natural wonders, as one of the world's leading professionals in the field-- the American wildlife photographer Art Wolfe-- recognizes in his prologue. The book's five chapters are accompanied by an essay written by the Colombian journalist, Arturo Guerrero, who invites us to share in the astonishment and poetry found in nature and science. The dazzling photographs of this book evoke the magic of the tropical ecosystems of the new world, and draw near to the intimacy of nature. It also allows us to reflect upon mankind's contradictory relationship with the natural world. Professor Sir Ghillean Prance, director of the Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew, writes in his introduction: "It is my hope that this book helps to encourage the conservation of Colombian ecosystems, which are a valuable resource, not only for inhabitants of that nation but also for the world." The book concludes with a heartfelt message by the Colombian poet William Ospina.

The Amazon is the world's biggest rainforest, falling within the confines of nine countries and luring millions of visitors. Trying to decide where to go is a challenge for any traveler.

Amazon Highlights cuts through the vast array of options. It showcases the best of the region—example itineraries and ideal starting points, a selection of 'tried and tested' lodges, and a review of leading tour operators and tour guides.

Colombia

When Mark Horrell is solicited to buy cocaine within minutes of arriving in Colombia, it's easy for him to assume the country's reputation as a lawless den of drug barons and kidnappers is well deserved. But since President Álvaro Uribe came to power in 2002 and embarked on a policy of zero tolerance, Colombia has become safe and opened its doors to tourism.

He has come here to trek and climb in the Sierra Nevada del Cocuy, an area previously a stronghold of guerrillas who would have regarded a climber, especially a foreign one, as easy money and been unable to let them pass by without kidnapping them.

What he finds is a green and pleasant land of mountains, lakes and glaciers inhabited by strange plants and sociable people, and threatened not by drug lords and terrorists, but an unseen danger from the world outside.

Cocuy Sniffing in Colombia is the diary of his adventure and contains a number of photographs from the Cocuy Circuit trek and climb of Ritacuba Blanco.

Colombia

Este libro es el resultado de un diario fotográfico en motocicleta, a través de Colombia y ésta es la segunda entrega de 3, en el total del recorrido. Los volúmenes 3, 4 y 5 son una edición mejorada con audio, videos, mapas interactivos, coordenadas GPS interactivas y más de 170 fotografías de la gente y sus lugares, para hacer de su lectura una experiencia única. Cubre más de 2500 Kilómetros del País. En el volumen 3, una de las mejores historias de aventura en el recorrido en el departamento del Cauca. Un fallido 31 de Diciembre en Popayán con robo incluido y la experiencia de dormir en un Resguardo Indígena en las montañas de la Cordillera Central. En el Volumen 4, nos aventuramos por una ruta poco transitada entre Aguadas y Sonsón (zona cafetera y Antioquia) para llegar a Medellín, una de las rutas mas difíciles hasta la fecha por su dificultad técnica. Nos vimos obligados a parar en Medellín a reparar una moto con problemas de suspensión y finalmente llegamos al mar por el Urabá Antioqueño. “ Nos cambió el panorama, ahora estamos es una zona controlada por los paramilitares. Se siente la diferencia en el ambiente.” En el Volumen 5, bordeamos el mar Atlántico, pasando por Cartagena y terminamos en el mítico pueblo de Mompós, declarado Patrimonio Histórico y Cultural de la Humanidad por la UNESCO. En este recorrido, sufrí una caída de la moto por tomar fotos en movimiento, y nos aventuramos aún mas por rutas inexistentes en los mapas para conocer pueblos costeros generalmente inexplorados. “Es increíble como desviándose del camino común por rutas apartadas y tomándose el tiempo de saludar y darle la mano a las diferentes personas del país, nos ha dado una visión muy diferente de nuestra gente. No nos cansaremos de decirlo una y otra vez, ésta sí es la verdadera Colombia. Este viaje es de repetirlo mil veces y gastarse más tiempo con la gente y menos en la carretera.” La aventura continua... Para algunas personas, viajar a través de Colombia por carretera supone una tarea muy peligrosa, y más aun si se va por fuera de las carreteras principales. Andrés Restrepo y Juan Pablo Gaviria, dos moteros consumados que comparten la pasión por lo desconocido, dejan sus trabajos a un lado y se embarcan en la aventura de recorrer su país ( Colombia ) en moto por las vías menos transitadas para poder ver y conocer lo que ellos llaman la verdadera Colombia. Todo lo que esta mas allá de las ciudades principales. Este no es el libro turístico típico. Este libro es la fotografía improvisada del viajero que pasa por los lugares con una óptica diferente a la búsqueda de hoteles y restaurantes 5 estrellas. Es con el afán característico del viajero real y con la incertidumbre del motero que no sabe donde va a dormir esa noche, pero con el gusto de documentar la belleza de la gente y los lugares que encuentran en su camino. Los que vivimos en las grandes ciudades estamos en una burbuja y desconocemos cómo es realmente el país. Es muy bello, debemos recorrerlo para reconocer quiénes somos y así entender mejor donde habitamos. Los invitamos a recorrer este maravilloso país con nosotros.

Colombia, November 1993: a reconstructed old passenger train is carrying one hundred musicians, acrobats and artists on a daring adventure through the heart of a country soaked in violence. Leading this crusade of hope is Manu Chao with his band Mano Negra.

Manu’s father Ramón Chao is on board to chronicle the journey. As the papa of the train, he endures personal discomfort, internal strife, derailments, stowaways, disease, guerrillas and paramilitaries. When the train arrives in Aracataca, the real-life Macondo of 'One Hundred Years of Solitude', Mano Negra disintegrates, leaving Manu to pick up the pieces with those determined to see this once-in-a-lifetime adventure through to the end.

Colombia

If you ever plan to travel between North America and South America, you must consider that there is no road.

Ten hours southeast of the Panama Canal, the Pan-American Highway penetrates the jungle, shrivels into a footpath and dies. The highway resurrects in Colombia, another continent. But the land between the two countries is a vast and primitive realm. On a map the two ends of the highway appear as two slivers of life, separated by the unknown.

Filling this void is a rugged wilderness known as the Darien Rainforest. Because the Darien hinders all contact by land between North America and South America, it has earned the name "the Darien Gap."

Yet most travelers never encounter the Darien Gap. When they go to South America they fly or perhaps take a boat. I decided to cross the Darien overland, traversing from Panama to Colombia by foot and riverboat.

Colombia

Los Llanos—the rain-leached, eastern savannas of war-ravaged Colombia—are among the most brutal environments on Earth and an unlikely setting for one of the most hopeful environmental stories ever told. Here, in the late 1960s, a young Colombian development worker named Paolo Lugari wondered if the nearly uninhabited, infertile llanos could be made livable for his country’s growing population. He had no idea that nearly four decades later, his experiment would be one of the world’s most celebrated examples of sustainable living: a permanent village called Gaviotas.In the absence of infrastructure, the first Gaviotans invented wind turbines to convert mild breezes into energy, hand pumps capable of tapping deep sources of water, and solar collectors efficient enough to heat and even sterilize drinking water under perennially cloudy llano skies. Over time, the Gaviotans’ experimentation has even restored an ecosystem: in the shelter of two million Caribbean pines planted as a source of renewable commercial resin, a primordial rain forest that once covered the llanos is unexpectedly reestablishing itself.Colombian author Gabriel García Márquez has called Paolo Lugari “Inventor of the World.” Lugari himself has said that Gaviotas is not a utopia: “Utopia literally means ‘no place.’ We call Gaviotas a topia, because it’s real.”Relive their story with this special 10th-anniversary edition of Gaviotas, complete with a new afterword by the author describing how Gaviotas has survived and progressed over the past decade.

Colombia

For decades, Colombia was the 'narcostate'. Now travel to Colombia and South America is on the rise, and it's seen as one of the rising stars of the global economy. Where does the truth lie? Writer and journalist Tom Feiling, author of the acclaimed study of cocaine "The Candy Machine", has journeyed throughout Colombia, down roads that were until recently too dangerous to travel, to paint a fresh picture of one of the world's most notorious and least-understood countries. He talks to former guerrilla fighters and their ex-captives; women whose sons were 'disappeared' by paramilitaries; the nomadic tribe who once thought they were the only people on earth and now charge $10 for a photo; the Japanese 'emerald cowboy' who made a fortune from mining; and revels in the stories that countless ordinary Colombians tell. How did a land likened to paradise by the first conquistadores become a byword for hell on earth? Why is one of the world's most unequal nations also one of its happiest? How is it rebuilding itself after decades of violence, and how successful has the process been so far? Vital, shocking, often funny and never simplistic, Short Walks from Bogota unpicks the tangled fabric of Colombia, to create a stunning work of reportage, history and travel writing.

Colombia

To many foreigners, Colombia is a nightmare of drugs and violence. Yet normal life goes on there, and, in Bogotá, it's even possible to forget that war still ravages the countryside. This paradox of perceptions--outsiders' fears versus insiders' realities--drew June Carolyn Erlick back to Bogotá for a year's stay in 2005. She wanted to understand how the city she first came to love in 1975 has made such strides toward building a peaceful civil society in the midst of ongoing violence. The complex reality she found comes to life in this compelling memoir.

Erlick creates her portrait of Bogotá through a series of vivid vignettes that cover many aspects of city life. As an experienced journalist, she lets the things she observes lead her to larger conclusions. The courtesy of people on buses, the absence of packs of stray dogs and street trash, and the willingness of strangers to help her cross an overpass when vertigo overwhelms her all become signs of convivencia--the desire of Bogotanos to live together in harmony despite decades of war. But as Erlick settles further into city life, she finds that "war in the city is invisible, but constantly present in subtle ways, almost like the constant mist that used to drip down from the Bogotá skies so many years ago."

Shattering stereotypes with its lively reporting, A Gringa in Bogotá is must-reading for going beyond the headlines about the drug war and bloody conflict.
