- catalog abstract ""Millions of North Americans visit the tourist meccas of Cancun, Acapulco, or Cabo San Lucas, yet most are not aware of Mexico's largely unexplored regions, which contain some of the most dramatic terrain in the world." "Magnificent color photographs, accompanied by dual Spanish/English essays and captions, celebrate Mexico's incomparable landscape and the diverse cultural traditions of its native inhabitants." "Photographer and author John Annerino voyages from Chiapas, an area of mountain forests and tropical jungles whose indigenous people retain their preHispanic traditions and languages, north to the Yucatan Peninsula where the ancient ruins of the Maya rise out of jungles rimmed by the beaches of the Caribbean coast of Quintana Roo." "Journeying through Mexico's heartland, Annerino travels across the Sierra Volcanica Transversal, the third highest inhabited plateau in the world, before exploring the spectacular Sierra Madre Occidental, the Mother Mountains, still inhabited by the Tarahumara Indians. Finally we venture into Mexico's most varied bioregion, that of Baja and the Sea of Cortes, where the Seri Indians survive between the harsh desert and the Vermillion Sea." "The Wild Country of Mexico/La tierra salvaje de Mexico is a spirited and alluring journey through a part of Mexico long obscured by the shadows of its more renowned attractions. It is a vivid and provocative portrait of some of the world's most captivating landscapes and native people, and it evokes the essence of Mexico."--Jacket.".
