A presentation by Latin America travel specialist David Gilmour.
David’s introduction to Latin America will include past travellers’ tales; Columbus claimed to have seen a mermaid; One of Magellan’s crew caught sight of a giant off the coast of Argentina; Raleigh talked of an encounter with a tribe of headless men in the jungles of South America and more.
He will pose the question ‘What has Latin America done for us’
He will tell us about modern travellers returning with exciting tales of their own. Also about tour leading at a time of transition from dictatorship towards democracy.
This will be a talk guaranteed to give us plenty to think, to be amazed and to laugh about. Do try to come.
