Colombia is back on the tourist map. This land of coffee, emeralds & Gabriel Garcia Marquez's magical realism, is emerging from decades of drugs & violence to wow visitors with its vibrant culture & 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 & 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 & help you get the most from this vivacious country. This title
