Start Publishing Notes' Summary, Analysis, and Review of David Grann's The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon includes:

The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon is the true story of a British explorer, Colonel Percy Harrison Fawcett, who became obsessed with finding a lost civilization in the Brazilian jungle. Eighty years after Fawcett and his party disappeared in 1925, New Yorker staff writer David Grann used his investigative reporting skills to try to piece together what happened. He hoped to find the lost civilization that Fawcett had been obsessed with, Z, in the process.

Fawcett began his career as a military man, but he always had a keen interest in exploration. In 1900, as a young adult, he decided to take an exploration course at the Royal Geographic Society in London. He was a quick study and soon earned a certificate at the top of his class. Soon after that, Fawcett went on his first expedition to Morocco - but not before the British government enlisted him as a spy. (Exploring was the perfect cover.) It would be his only mission.

Great travel guide for Bogota and Cartagena

We will be travelling to Colombia in a few weeks, and was looking for what to to visit and do in Bogota and Cartagena. I very much enjoyed reading this guide and definitely will follow in Maria's footsteps when we go to Colombia!

Four Stars

its a nice book

Un relato para pasear por Colombia

Un relato entretenido que describe dos ciudades de Colombia destacadas por su historia, gente y potencial turístico. Es una lectura sencilla y muy agradable que no deja pasar detalles interesantes sobre cada lugar que visita la autora. El libro está enriquecido con anécdotas valiosas para quienes deseen ir alguna vez o conocer por qué su escritora los señala como " dos tesoros de Colombia".

Quedé con la sensación de haber aprendido mucho.

No siempre es fácil encontrarse con una descripción amena y llena de lugares que sólo quien los ha recorrido puede describirlos. Estas ciudades son dos polos opuestos en arquitectura y gente, pero la autora nos encanta con los detalles de cada una. Lo recomiendo a quien, sin querer entrar en las disertaciones largas, busca un panorama general bien construido.

Excelente compañía

Me encanta viajar, así que elegí este título con el afán de conocer algo de Colombia. En forma sumamente agradable, activa, emocionante y con gran contenido cultural disfrute al máximo esta probadita de ese país tan interesante. Me enamore de la forma en que esta escritora internacional trasmite sus propias experiencias! Quedo invitada a seguir buscando cualquier escrito que ella quiera compartir a su auditorio.
