El Viaje GaboJoshua Marcus has loved many of Gabriel García Márquez’s stories, and upon reading The General and His Labyrinth and Living to Tell the Tale he become inspired to embark on a Gabo literary pilgrimage. He knew he had to recreate the journey described in the "The General" when he read in Gabo's autobiogrpahy, “The only reason I would like to be a child again is to be able to sail the Magdalena in a boat once more. Those who did not do so at that time cannot even imagine what it was like.”
He wanted to experience a place where literature was born and share that with the world. It took months of preparation and execution, but the experience is now beginning to bear fruit that he hopes can contribute to an understanding and appreciation of the relationship between one our most beloved writers and the magical complicated land that spawned his work.
Below are some photographs. Go to travelpod.com and search for “ecotripping” to read the blog written during the trip. Some of these photos have been published by the folks at ethicaltraveler.org.

Joshua Marcus ha enamorado con muchas de los cuentos de Gabriel García Márquez, sino por leer El General en Su Laberinto y Vivir Para Contarla, el se ponía inspirado aventurarse a un peregrinación literario de Gabo. Él sabía donde el quería ir cuando leyó en éste libro, "Por lo único que quisiera volver a ser niño es para viajar otra vez en un buque por el río Magdalena. Quienes no lo hicieron en aquellos tiempos no pueden ni siquiera imaginarse cómo era."
Él quería experienciar un lugar donde literature era nacido y compartirlo con el mundo. Lo llevó meses de preparación y ejecución, pero la experiencia ya está empezando producir frutas que él espera que pueda contribuir un comprensión y un preciación de la relación entre uno de nuestros escritores más querido y la tierra magical y complicado que engendró su obra.
