Living in Colombia for a year I found this book to show areas of Colombia I have seen and then some. It is one if not the most beautiful country in the world. Colombia has a bad rep, don't let the American press fool you, look at this book and let it be the start of your search for the real Colombia, one of passions, diversity and paridise. The stories go well with the pictures to paint a picture that can draw one in.

Colombia's beauty is exposed at its most: mountains, rivers, deserts, forests... its varied ecosystems -- from the rich tropical rainforest to the coastal cloud forests to the open savannas.

I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Colombia, in the 70's working in National Parks. So I saw alot of Wild Colombia, this book goes many places no one knew about in the 70's. And shows it in great photos and stories of the people involved. Great insight into the wild beauty of a still spectacular country.
