COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Adventure Travel submitted by mandevil on March 14, 2021, 7:46pm I checked this out of the library in order to live vicariously. Craving some adventure travel while covid keeps me tethered close to home. I did enjoy reading about a few trips but quickly decided this book lacks some fundamental basics that seem glaring in their omission. No map to orient the reader as to the exact location. That seems pretty obvious. Hardly any photos which would have increased the enjoyment of understanding the trip. A few pics of the author and their guide/s or companions, a photo of the necessary gear, a few shots of the most impressive sights.
