Peru / Bolívie / Ekvádor / Galapágy – průvodce přírodou – group of authors (2005)

Peru / Bolivia / Ecuador / Galapagos When the Spanish conqueror Francisco Pizarro penetrated the remote western coast of the South American continent in the early 16th century, he encountered one of the most advanced American cultures. The extinct Inca culture is still very much present in the Andean states today, but the vibrant life of the present leaves no one indifferent. However, the Andean states have much more to offer. They are favored by both lovers of high-altitude hiking and supporters of water sports on the Pacific coast. The region of Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, and the distinctive Galapagos archipelago - the "Noah's Ark of the Pacific" - is also rich in an abundance of plant and animal species. The presented guide-encyclopedia offers a unique combination of a travel guide and an overview of the fauna and flora in the area. In 288 pages, you will find: essential information for trip preparations, tips and suggested routes for extraordinary expeditions and unforgettable experiences, over 250 species of animals and plants in text, photographs, and color illustrations, more than 20 maps, city plans, and route maps, as well as clear maps on the inside covers, an overview of the most important travel information from A to Z.
