GUIDE - Secret Treks - Blue Guides Collection

This beautiful book takes you on some of the most beautiful hiking trails in the world. Illustrated with 247 spectacular photos, it allows you to discover, on six continents, breathtaking landscapes, off the beaten track: the Sarek national park in Sweden, the last great wild space in Europe, the Rwenzori range or Monts of the Moon in Uganda, The Lost City, nestled deep in the jungle of Colombia's Sierra Nevada, The unique fauna and flora of the Mount Anne circuit in Australia, the impressive geological formations of the Hayduke Trail in the American West, the legendary canyon of the Tiger Leaping Gorge in China... The 29 itineraries presented range from easy hikes a few hours from home to treks lasting several days or weeks to the ends of the world. Each trek is described by Cam Honan, a tireless walker who has already covered nearly 100,000 km in 56 countries. A map, detailed practical information and expert advice from the author complete the description of the circuits. But this book is as much an invitation to put on your walking shoes and go on a trip as it is a visual exploration to escape while staying at home. This work is published in France by the Guides Bleus (Hachette) in association with Gestalten editions, which created the work in English.
