  The narrow Darién Gap, the only land bridge connecting South and Central America, encompasses a spectacularly hostile jungle, covered in steep mountains, dense rainforests, and flood-prone marshes. Known in Spanish as el infierno verde, or “the green hell,” it is one of the most inhospitable places in the world. Its terrain is too treacherous for roads, yet hundreds of thousands of refuge seekers contend with its horrors every year in the hopes of reaching the United States, still some three thousand miles away. And of the countless who set out for the border, an untold number never arrive. In this book, journalist Belén Fernández travels through the Darién Gap to report on the dehumanizing and deadly stretch of land that has become a mass graveyard for migrants. Fernández’s journey brings her into contact with refuge seekers, people smugglers, law enforcement officials, and many more whose stories bring life to a place overwhelmingly associated with death. Combining history, on-the-ground reporting, travelogue, memoir, and searing politico-economic analysis, she shines light on a largely made-in-the-USA crisis that has come to define our modern era.

  El Valle de Benasque - la Vall de Benás - reúne las más altas montañas del Pirineo, los macizos de la Maladeta, Llardana o Perdiguero que han subyugado a los viajeros a lo largo de los tiempos. Impresionantes vertientes que reflejan los numerosos lagos que descansan bajo cada circo glaciar, creando paisajes de una belleza que corta el aliento. A sus pies, prados de montaña, bosques, ríos, aguas que bajan en cascadas que multiplican las vistas en rincones sorprendentes.
  En este libro proponemos una serie de excursiones que recorren la cascada de Aiguallut bajo el Aneto, la Maladeta en las aguas de Gorgutes, los saltos de agua entre los árboles del Botánico, el idílico valle de Estós, la sorprendente montaña caliza de Cotiella, el potente circo que rodea el ibón de Llosás, las cascadas de Sarllé, Gorgues Galantes, Alba, Espigantosa, las maravillas de Batisielles y Escarpinosa....
  Y los pueblos, pequeños todos, donde admirar la parte habitada de los valles, degustar la gastronomía pirenaica y apreciar los detalles de una arquitectura que habla de clima, de recursos limitados sabiamente aprovechados, de iglesias modestas pero que traen ecos del medievo y de una historia apasionante.

  From the New York Times bestselling author of Saban and Lords of the Fly comes an exquisite collection of angling stories that span the twenty-first century.The thirty-one pieces in Rivers Always Reach the Sea—essays, as well as profiles of some of the biggest names in angling, including Lefty Kreh and Andy Mill—take the listener from the rainforests of Chile to the windswept tundra of Russia, from the remote mangrove-choked basins of Florida's Everglades to the congested littoral zone of New York City, and to many places in between.The quarry includes trout, Atlantic salmon, tarpon, bonefish, and striped bass, but the real quest is for something else entirely. Told in a voice described by the novelist, Carl Hiaasen, as "funny, wistful, and wonderful," the stories in Rivers Always Reach the Sea keep the focus on the "why" of the sport of fly fishing, and not the "how."

  The Back Of Beyond - Travel Tales

  Dominic Ryan

  Travelling is something most of us do perfectly well. It often involves a stroll in the park or sojourn in the sun. 
  Dominic Ryan, for reasons unfamiliar with common sense, is more likely to find himself facing down charging hippos on the Zambezi or tracking angry Namibian cheetahs in a vintage aeroplane. 
  There is little in the way of logic in his backpack as he tumbles into a war zone in Ukraine or tries to save a Malaysian rainforest by chasing bats. 
  Is The Back of Beyond a memoir, travelogue or cry for help? It’s all of the above and by turns fascinating and funny, thrilling and thoughtful. 
  As a wise genie probably once said, wandering and wondering are the same worthy pursuit: it’s just one has an ‘ah!’ and the other an ‘oh!’. 
  If you dare venture to The Back of Beyond, gird your khaki-clad loins for an abundance of both . . . and even the occasional ‘ooh’!
