STEVE WATKINS

Los fotógrafos y escritores Steve Watkins y Clare Jones han recurrido a sus años de experiencia de innumerables viajes por el mundo para seleccionar treinta espectaculares rutas por algunos de los lugares mas bellos y estimulantes del mundo. Todas ellas pueden realizarse en unas vacaciones de dos semanas. La seleccion de paseos incluye parajes muy diferentes, desde rutas urbanas, como el Freedom Trail ("Camino de la libertad") de Boston o los impresionantes templos de Kioto, a otros en plena naturaleza, como el Parque Nacional de Yellowstone, en Estados Unidos, o el Camino inca de Peru. Hay excursiones relajadas, como la que se desarrolla en la Casa de la Cascada (Fallingwater) de Frank Lloyd Wright y sus alrededores, o el paseo por los pintorescos canales de Amsterdam. Pero tambien hay marchas de mas nivel, como el Tour de Mont Blanc o la expedicion por la Garganta del Salto del Tigre de China, para aquellos a los que les gusten los desafios.

En 30 Excursiones inolvidables por el mundo, Steve Watkins y Clare Jones, cronistas de viajes y fotógrafos de renombre internacional, han seleccionado, a partir de sus muchos años de experiencia, treinta de sus excursiones favoritas de entre las realizadas a lo largo de su vida. Las multiples aventuras de Steve y Clare van desde hacer un crucero por los fiordos de la Patagonia hasta descender por el Canal du Midi en una lenta barcaza, seguir las huellas de Shackleton en la Antartida y buscar a los gorilas en la selva de Ruanda.
