Reiseführer Kolumbien

Getting to know Colombia means experiencing all of South America in a compact form. With its tropical white sandy beaches along the Caribbean and Pacific coasts, the icy peaks of the Andes mountain range, and the steaming rainforest of the Amazon, the country impresses with its scenic contrasts. Pulsating metropolises like Bogotá and Cali, the Spanish colonial flair of Cartagena, and indigenous peoples who seem to merge with the Chocó rainforest shape the culturally diverse image of Colombia.

Travelers and backpackers will find inspiration and useful information for their trip preparation in this comprehensive travel guide, which thoroughly presents the regions of Cundinamarca with Bogotá, the Eastern Cordillera, the Caribbean North, El Chocó, Antioquia and the Coffee Zone, the Southwest, Amazonia, and Orinoquia.

Each chapter begins with a double page that introduces the content with an overview map of the region, highlights, and page references. Of course, the guide includes tried-and-true practical tips on travel questions from A to Z. The expanded preface features overview pages with descriptions of all regions, a yearly overview of festivals and events, route suggestions, and the author's personal top tips. Many special pieces of information, such as travel advice and the various activity options, serve as helpful planning aids. Detailed excursions into history, land, and people distinguish this current travel guide, as does a small Spanish language aid.
