This book is the perfect combination of two dreams attained by men: their constant quest to reach for the heights and the majestic and always vivid Cartagena de Indias. Of the first dream, one can say that it conjugates the whole of human imagination; of the latter, all of its ingenuousness. Thus, armed with the same imagination and ingenuousness, Carlos Hoyos and Benjamin Villegas, authors of this wonderful book, adapted a photographic camera to a remote control helicopter and succeeded at portraying this amazing city of yesteryear from the heights, to reach the sublimation of the town that was recognized as Historical Heritage of Mankind by UNESCO in 1984. Conceived and founded around its military fortresses, the so-called "Heroic City" used its imposing bastions to defend itself from the attacks of buccaneers and assailants against the Spanish Crown territories in what is now Colombia. Nonetheless, and ever since its foundation, this is the first time that a book succeeds at capturing with such passion the spirit of the town in a sublime and picturesque manner, only attained when photographed from the heights. Cartagena de Indias, Panoramic Vision from the Air, is an invitation to rise high and be amazed by one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
