Of Condors and Mermaids - Memoirs of an Illustrated Adventurer

Mauricio Obregón, paradigm of initiated adventurers, with a colossal willingness to measure himself rigorously and without prejudice to the reconstruction of mythical adventures and unimaginable journeys that preceded him in history "from the argonauts to the cosmonauts", recorded many of his experiences in the journalistic column that with the name of this book he maintained for many years in the newspaper El Tiempo of Bogotá.

This selection of the most autobiographical notes brings us closer to the man behind the traveler, gradually revealing the specific profile of the author and the profile of an admirable human being. This book aspires to be a tribute from the editor to this historian, teacher, diplomat, engineer, pilot and sailor who assumed life as a frontal and creative response to his future.
