Horseback, dirt bike, canoe, a tiny plane with a frantically blinking fuel light — this is how the Colombian photographer Federico Rios (@historiassencillas) gets to work in the remote corners of his mountainous country. “To become a photojournalist has been a long path, and it is not easy if you live in South America,” he says. “I’m grateful for lots of friends I have found along this rough way.” Over the years, his travel ordeals became their own stories he explores in tandem with Colombia’s journey from civil war: “I document the way I travel and the people I meet on the trips — stories that otherwise would go untold.”
