Seen from above, from the sky, a country's geography looks like it really is: a huge living individual organism that has nothing to do with a mound of amorphous geography. Rivers that run like veins over valleys and mountians are a sight of majestic vitality; mountain chains as gigantic arms emerging from thick jungles and forests, extended through the land as vitaloxigen suppliers. This is Colombia seen from the air An hallucinating tour through the landscape of a country where one can breathe, touch and see exuberance, where the shiny silver rivers of the Caribbean plains glow while the high-tide of the deep Pacific Coast announces the arrival of whales to the Continent. A paradise where the coffee growing area spreads out like aninmense quilt, sewn in green over the mountains, and moors host lakes of multi-coloured waters and unique species. Colombia from the air is the perfect book to cherish and be dazzled by the irresistible beauty that comes from the earth and the sea, fading in the horizon.
