Andrés Hurtado García

Geography is a mirror: every nation sees itself in its natural places. Here are a naturalist-photographer's most beautiful faces: These are Andrés Hurtado Garcia's best images of a half-century of looking intensely at the land that is Colombia; a wilderness tour that includes close photographic details like cryptic aboriginal hyeroglyphics on giant rocks as well as sweeping views of the alta montana. Hurtado is a South American Edward Weston, a self-taught, nomadic photographer. Here are the most exciting places he has discovered in decades of wandering: hidden beaches, remote lakes, and unnamed volcanic craters; the little-explored rivers of the Amazon; seductive landscapes of the Orinico. Naturalists and travellers will discover here a South America only Hurtado knows intimately: photographs that capture all the seductive landscapes of Colombia.
