Secrets of El Dorado: Colombia

Rating:
Summary: A special book about the history of gold in Colombia
Review: "Secrets of El Dorado," includes a brilliant narrative by German Arciniegas along with a large collection of breathtaking photographs by Juan Mayr. In my opinion, this book must be included in anyone's library of books on Colombia. The quality of this large text is outstanding and the historical information of the importance of gold in Colombia is impeccably researched. Moreover, the introduction by President Virgilio Barco is a wonderful testimony to Colombia's special culture. This book is the next best thing to a ticket to Colombia's dynamic Gold Museam in Bogotá. Although expensive..."Secrets of El Dorado," is a great investment and much more than a mere coffee table ornament.
