“The mind is like a parachute, it only works if it opens” - Albert Einstein
Did you know the volcano that inspired Jules Verne to locate his famous entrance to the center of the earth was in Iceland? Or that the restaurant where the greatest number of diners end up in the hospital after tasting one of its dishes is in Las Vegas? Did you know that there is a temple in India where rats are worshiped? Or that cannibal tribes still exist in Papua New Guinea? In Dark Tourism 2 you’ll find everything from gardens, hospitals, islands, guided tours, prisons, caves, museums… A trip around the world that explores places associated with death, mystery or abandonment from a historical and cultural perspective.
After the success of Dark Tourism, Míriam del Río returns with a new edition to share with us her peculiar vision of dark tourism on the five continents. A book that sheds light on what motivates society to want to discover humanity’s darkest side.
