"To live in a tent, to invent trails, to dream of immensities, to spy , then reach far horizons; to flee from the destiny of the sedentary, to love the supreme freedom of the nomad above all... This is the life!"

Geography is a mirror: every nation sees itself first in its natural places. Here is a naturalist-photographer's "mirrors," his country's most beautiful faces: Hurtado is an eco-wanderer, a South American Edward Weston and John Burroughs, a self-taught, nomadic artist. He shows us what he has seen: hidden beaches, remote lakes, and unnamed volcanic craters; the little-explored rivers of the scorching Amazon; cryptic hieroglyphics graven on giant rocks by ancient aboriginal cultures; and the seductive landscapes of the Orinoco-many locations known only to Hurtado.

For those who love truly wild places, and photography through nature's eye, this is a new horizon.
