The journey, of which this is an account, was undertaken at the instance of the Minister of Agriculture and Commerce (Señor Don Luis Montoya S.), with the view of studying the agricultural conditions and possibilities of the region traversed, and of submitting to the Government suggestions for the development of this advantageously situated section of Colombia. Unfortunately, the greater part of the journey was performed in an exceptionally unfavourable season; continuous and heavy rains restricted my movements and limited examination of the lands and forests through which I passed. The rains also involved considerable delays and loss of time which would not have occurred under more favourable conditions.
