From page 89 of ' New Every Morning'
L. Dudley Stamp, D.Sc.
Last week listeners heard all about a trip through the Panama Canal, and this morning they are to explore Colombia, in the extreme north-west of South America. They will visit Buenaventura, which was destroyed by fire not many years ago and is still a mass of wooden huts. It is always hot and always damp here, being so near to the Equator; and listeners may not be sorry to leave it, which they will do by train (which does not run every day) into the interior. They will reach the capital of Colombia, Bogota, and find that there are very different climates and cultivations in the hills and in the valleys. Back to Buenaventura, and Dr Stamp will take them on a steamer southwards down the Pacific... and so to Guayaquil, the principal port of Ecuador.
