"Reis door Nieuw-Grenada en Venezuela" by Jules Crevaux is a travelogue recounting the author's exploration of Colombia and Venezuela, written in the late 19th century. The narrative showcases the rich landscapes, cities, and people that the author encounters, providing a vivid window into the regions' geographical and cultural intricacies during this period. The book is primarily an account of Crevaux's adventures as he journeys through these countries, documenting both his experiences and
observations. At the start of the account, Crevaux and his companions embark on their journey on August 6, 1881, aboard the ship Lafayette, arriving in La Guaira, the port town near Caracas, two weeks later. The opening details their arrival, initial impressions of the picturesque yet challenging coastal town, and their onward travels through various locations such as Puerto-Cabello and Barranquilla. Along the way, they meet fellow travelers, including a young Colombian lithographer named Villavécès, who becomes a companion for part of their journey. The early chapters set the stage for the subsequent adventures filled with descriptions of the local landscapes, customs, and notable encounters, effectively immersing readers in the vividly depicted world of 19th-century Colombia and Venezuela.
