The photographs capture moments of great
impact in several parts of the world, expe-
riences that have changed the lives of thou-
sands of people since EFE took its first pho-
to, and also includes photos of civil works
that have been built in various Latin Ameri-
can countries.
The graphic section includes photos taken
in the last century in Latin America, including

the Aztec Stadium in Mexico, Panama’s me-
tro system, the Puebla motorway in Mexico,
and the work for enlarging the Panama Ca-
nal.
