Alex EggertonLonely Planet Colombia: Detailed Itineraries | Travel Like a Local | Insider Tips | Covers Bogota, Caribbean Coast, Medellin, Cali, Amazon Basin, and more (Travel Guide)

It seems very informative - a better review will be after we actually use it for our trip.

Good info and no typos

Very high level, lacking detail. Older guides included specific sections on places to stay, things to see, restaurants etc. This reads like an in flight magazine. Returned.

Great! item as expected

I take a Lonely Planet with me wherever I go. Columbia was no exception and once again they came through for me. Even though I had not done nearly enough preplanning, this book enabled me to assemble fun activities and dining each day. I appreciate the background and history they provide for the various destinations. They also recommended side trips I would not have thought of. This guide also gives nice recommendations for time to spend at each place. I recommend this is you are headed to Colombia, which I recommend as well.

Lonely Planet has gotten less useful over the years. I understand the Internet makes packing the books with details somewhat redundant, but it's been abbreviated so much there's a lot of work for you to do. The detailed maps are missing, and descriptions are sparse. For even big cities, only two or three places to stay may be recommended. Having "field tested" LP in Colombia and Ecuador, I'm not buy them again.

Nice, informational book
