High Colombia: Splendor of the Mountain

Historically, high mountains around the world have been considered sacred places, magical environments, and homes of the gods.

This book represents an ascent to the imposing peaks, snow-capped peaks, mountain ranges and glaciers of Colombia, scaled in three years of persistent expeditions by the photographer and naturalist Cristóbal von Rothkirch, whose lens serenely immerses itself in the beauty and vitality of the Andes, in search of of that high Colombia of open spaces and deep skies. Starting from the last human settlements on its slopes, the ascent takes us into the overwhelming beauty of the cloud forests and the solitary visions of the moors and supermoors, until we access the highest heights of the country along the snow road. : the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, the Sierra Nevada del Cocuy, the snow-capped mountains of Ruiz, Santa Isabel, Tolima and Huila and the southern volcanoes.

This volume complements in an extraordinary way the texts of the experts Juan Pablo Ruiz and Carlos Mauricio Vega.
