Synopses & Reviews
With its jagged, volcanic peaks; sands of gold, black and silver; palm-trimmed Pacific and Caribbean coastlines; tufted fields of coffee; dense jungles, snow-capped mountains and idyllic islands; numerous indigenous cultures and exciting buzzing cities, Colombia is ten countries in one: a diverse and little-explored succession of eye-popping geological highlights on one of Latin Americas most varied terrains. Now in its second edition Bradts Colombia enchants flora and fauna fanatics and provides plenty of first-hand insight into striking colonial cities, rainforests, beaches, historic villages, and secret gems.
