Footprint Colombia Handbook( Series - Colombia Handbook )

Colombia is back on the tourist map. This land of coffee, emeralds and Gabriel Garcia Marquez's magical realism, is emerging from decades of drugs and violence to wow visitors with its vibrant culture and little-known attractions: from the gold museum in Bogota to the Lost City of the Tayrona; a cathedral inside a salt mine at Zipaquira to the colonial treasures of Cartagena. There are mud volcanoes to bathe in, acres of flowers, coffee farms to visit and a CD library's worth of music festivals. But fear not, Footprint's 3rd edition of Colombia, from their acclaimed South American stable, is now at hand to make sense of it all and help you get the most from this vivacious country.
