 Go to Venezuela
 From the Great Journeys series. A great and innovative thinker, the young Humboldt went on his epochal journey to the New World during a time of revolutionary ferment across Europe. This part of his matchless narrative of adventure and scientific research focuses on his time in Venezuela--in the Llanos and on the Orinoco River--riding and paddling, restlessly and happily noting the extraordinary things on every hand. Penguin's new Great Journeys series presents the most incredible tours, voyages, treks, expeditions, and travels ever written--from Isabella Bird's exaltation in the dangers of grizzlies, rattlesnakes, and cowboys in the Rocky Mountains to Marco Polo's mystified reports of a giant bird that eats elephants during his voyage along the coasts of India. Each beautifully packaged volume offers a way to see the world anew, to rediscover great civilizations and legends, vast deserts and unspoiled mountain ranges, unusual flora and strange new creatures, and much more.
