  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.This title features: comprehensive coverage on all the sights, including must-sees such as the Lost City of the Tayrona, the cathedral built out of a salt mine at Zipaquira and an awe-inspiring collection of gold at the Museo de Oro in Bogota; detailed listings of all the best places to stay, eat, drink and party; and, where to sample the finest coffee and how to buy real emeralds.

   

  Watch the sun set with an evening cocktail on the ramparts of Cartagenas walled city, trek through the rainforest to Ciudad Perdida or stay on a coffee finca in the Zona Cafetera, Footprints 4th edition of the Colombia Handbook is the perfect companion for the adventurous traveler wanting to get the most out of this vivacious country. The land of coffee, emeralds and Gabriel Garcia Marquez is firmly back on the travelers must-see map and Footprints new edition is the ideal companion to help you make sense of it all.
