Martin Li

 

Martin Li is a writer and photographer based in London. He earlier studied physics at Cambridge University and worked for several years in corporate finance in the City of London. His main travel interests are wildernesses and remote, hideaway destinations in the developed world. A keen skier, horserider and trekker, he has a passion for exploring the adventure and culture of the world’s great mountain regions (although not for climbing them!), especially the Himalayas, Alps and, above all, the Andean countries of South America.

He writes for Travel Intelligence, a London-based publisher and syndicate, and various publications including ABTA Travelspirit, Yeahbaby, South American Explorer, Scottish Islands Explorer, Marco Polo Magazine, Transitions Abroad and Kuoni World.

Martin is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society.

Wilderness Award Martin won the 2005 Wilderness Award for an exciting adventure riding a mule across some of the most remote, rugged and beautiful wilderness in the Bolivian and Peruvian Andes. His quest is to trace the rise and fall of the Inca empire from its birthplace in Lake Titicaca, to its pinnacle at Machu Picchu and beyond to its final stand in the densely forested mountains of Vilcabamba.
