The diverse natural landscapes and ecoloical habitats range from active volcanoes and glaciers to subtropical beaches and rainforests, allowing visitors to participate in a variety of outdoor pursuits. This book features 35 of these wilderness areas. Through the text, detailed maps, visitor information boxes and colour images, this book takes the reader on a journey through the natural wonders of this beautiful part of the world.
