Cartagena de Indias - Benjamin Villegas

Cartagena, in many ways the most photogenic of Latin cities, is seen here from an entirely new angle. After publishing Bogota From the Air, Villegas Editores focused on this jewel city of the Caribbean, employing a novel system invented by Carlos Hoyos: a small, remote-controlled helicopter flew over the city with a system of cameras taking short-range aerial photographs. Here is this popular vacation destination city as it has never been seen before, from viewpoints not available by any other means. Viewed from the air, the patterns of civilisation hidden in Cartagena become readily apparent.
