Packed with information, skimpy on pictures!,
By Calena (Bath, Maine United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Columbia (Ulysses Travel Guide Columbia) (Paperback)
I have not been yet been to Colombia, but will be teaching at a school there in the fall. I purchased this book hoping to get as quick an overview of the country, its politics, culture, and sites, and everything (and more!) were found in this book. The trivia was also very interesting, for example the history of drug trafficking and the lineage of salsa music. The guides for each city were also very good. I can now plan for my one year abroad knowing what is not to be missed and what can be skipped. The only drawbacks to this book are the small type and very few color photographs.
