Everything in this book is an invitation. The formidable geography of the Colombian tropics "where plates, floras, and faunas of the three American subcontinents, the two largest oceans in the world, and the most variegated mountains converge" is the domain of biodiversity and excess: everything in the tropics is enchanting and magical. And that is precisely the testimony that after 15 years of photographic work Aldo Brando, a wildlife documentarian, presents to us in this book, who through a convincing vital argument, delves into the beauty and soul of this tropic to promote, among other things, the conservation of its ecosystems. Throughout its pages, the revelations of this dazzling visual repertoire lead the reader from amazement to amazement before a world that, although intuited, had not been captured in such a committed way. With texts by Arturo Guerrero, this volume includes presentations by Germán Arciniegas, Sir Ghillean Prance, and Art Wolfe, and an epilogue by William Ospina.
