Google Street View snaps Colombia’s natural treasures
Posted by Grace Brown on Sep 9, 2015
Thanks to Google Street View, you can now feast your eyes on nine of Colombia’s stunning national parks from anywhere in the world.
The images, that were made available on Google Street View as of Tuesday, give vast 360 views of some of Colombia’s best sea, land, and jungle scapes, as part of an initiative to promote the country’s biodiversity and range of places to visit.
The nine parks now available on the website include popular tourist destinations on the northern Caribbean Coast; Tayrona and the home of Colombia’s “Lost City”, la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, both of which were declared by UNESCO as a Biosphere Reserve of Man and Humanity.
The initiative, that was made possible by the 15 camera loaded “Trekker” device used to capture the 360 images, is in partnership with National Parks of Colombia (PNN), the conservation organization that ensures the protection of Colombia’s “extraordinary wealth” of natural environments.
