Recommend a guide book for Colombia?

Question

I need a guide book for Colombia, but I've heard the Lonely Planet one is no good. So far the best I've seen is the free one from poorbuthappy.com, but I want something alittle more substantial.

Answer 1

Lonely Planet rated Colombia as one of the top 10 destinations for 2007. ENJOY this beautiful country and it's beautiful people!!!

Hi,

I'm glad you are planning to visit Colombia. As a colombian I am proud of it. It's a beatiful country and I recommend you to visit this website to find some info:

It has an English version link.

Answer 6

I have no idea why you were told that the Lonely Planet Guide wasn't good. It is fantastic! I lived in Bogota for three months last year and the Lonely Planet guide never steered me wrong.
