The Rio Magdalena, the artery of Colombia, is a mythic place. Alive with the nation’s stories, its history and trade, its shamanistic traditions. Yet, as the country suffered through decades of violence, the great river suffered too. Award-winning anthropologist and explorer Wade Davis tells a life-affirming story of national healing, offering heart-warming portraits of unforgettable people, the beauty of forests, the power of the river itself.
