"With this Book, the La Venta Association is celebrating twenty-five Years since its establishement - a Quarter-Century full of Adventures, Explorations and Discoveries. More Space is given to Images than to Words, so that the Reader can savour, without the Distraction of Invasive Texts, some of the Scenes and Atmospheres that our Planet reserves exclusively for those who manage to get themselves into its most Inaccessible Locations. This Book tells our Story and the Story of Our Drreams, some of which have been realised, many of which we have yet to make a Reality... La Venta was formed by a Group of Friends with a shared Passion for Speleology ; twenty-five Years Later, that is what we remain, but over Time our Passion has led us into New, Global Situations of an Array of Different Types, thus transforming La Venta into an Association operating in the Wider field of Geographical Exploration...." said Francesco Paolo Lo Mastro, President of La Venta.

"It is important to bear in mind that Every Exploration (and, indeed, every image in this Book) is the Fruit of the Sacrifice and Commitment made by All concerned... It is even more incumbent upon Us to remember that Our Success, and every Result achieved so far, is also the Upshot of a Team Effort.", he added.
To describe this Book, few more Quotations to mention and detailed inside :
* "Before we contemplate relocating Mankind by building Settlements on Different Planets (which will not happen, and should not happen) we better take a Close Look at the Marvels of Our Own. We have to focus on the Habitability of our Own World, rather than trying to engage in a Folly (to colonize and make Mars, for example, habitable). Much in our World is to a Large Degree still unexplored : the Depth of the Oceans, the Canopies of the Tropical Rainforests, and Caves (the Universe of Silence)." By Werner Herzog.

* "Imagine, then, having only a Few Moments to get your Head around the Nature of this Book. It is a Book of Stories that share, as common narrative Threads, the Elements of Exploration and Speleology, but the Stories are not Sequestial, and the Often-Changing Characters do not neccessarily interact with esch other. It is a Book containing Images that serve to complement and enrich those Stories, but which would be challenging to interpret without the Suport provided by the Words." by Luca Parmitano, Astronaut, European Space Agency.
