Russell has over 20 years’ worth of Venezuelan adventure experiences. His illustrated talk will take you on a journey to: The "Lost World" mountain of Roraima and its unique ecosystem Lake Maracaibo and its Catatumbo Lightning The mountain of Sorte where devotees of Maria Lionza practice a unique syncretic religion The awe-inspiring Angel Falls One of the most megadiverse countries in the world, Venezuela is home to Caribbean beaches, rainforests, high Andean valleys, mysterious table-top tepui mountains, and seasonally-flooded plains that are teeming with birds, beasts and creepy-crawlies. From the anacondas, capybaras and crocodiles of Los Llanos, to the jaguars, monkeys and tarantulas of the jungle, a trip to Venezuela can reap rich rewards for wildlife watchers. Venezuela is also alive with the sound of folk music, from the Afro-Venezuelan tambores of the coast, to the harp-driven Joropo songs of Los Llanos. Russell presents several examples of Venezuelan music and there is a live performance of traditional folk music to follow the talk. You can also sample some of Venezuela's delicacies and its excellent local rum. Gillian Howe of Geodyssey is also on hand with expert tips and advice on travelling in Venezuela. Doors open at 7:15pm. Talks start at 7:30pm. Free entry for all. http://www.bradtguides.com/Post/15/2011-TravelWriting-Competition-Award-Evening.html Tue, 12 Jul 2011 12:47:34 +0000 http://www.bradtguides.com/Post/2011/07/12/2011-TravelWriting-Competition-Award-Evening.html The Independent on Sunday/Bradt Travel Guides 2011 Travel-Writing Competition Award Ceremony http://www.bradtguides.com/Post/18/Want-to-be-a-travel-writer.html Fri, 26 Aug 2011 16:48:08 +0000 http://www.bradtguides.com/Post/2011/08/26/Want-to-be-a-travel-writer.html Are you looking to break into travel writing?
