This book was amazing for Colombia! I usually use lonely planet for traveling but saw a lot of negative reviews, so I went with this. It turns out that back in 2010 (if i remember correctly), the lonely planet writer for Colombia never visited Colombia that year and just wrote the book based off of phone interviews he had with ppl, which resulted in poor recommendations and which is why a lot of ppl gave the book a low rating . This Book, however, pretty much hit the nail on the head for every city I visited (Bogota, Cartagena, Santa Marta, and Medellin). The recommendations for the tours (especially the Real City walking tour for Medellin), sites, and restaurant were amazing. Although, I do wish the book put a little more emphasis on locations where you can go out and party with locals. The only additions i would make to this book is that when you visit Bogota (like the book says) don't trust local taxis, but instead download Uber or Tipsy (if i remember correctly) and always use those cabs no matter where u go in Colombia (maybe except for santa marta, which is really safe). Also, if you're in Cartagena CHECK OUT FRAGMA!!! It's a night club with two dance floors, one for sala and the other for mix music, and where a lot of locals go to party. Many locals recommended it to us, but for some reason the club's name never appeared on many of the top travel sites for Colombia. Take my word for it, ITS AMAZING! Also, Cafe del Mar in Cartagena is really worth all of the Hype!!!P.S. Colombia was a lot safer than I expected. As long as you don't present anyone with the opportunity to steal something from you (like wearing a flashy watch or leaving your backpack slightly open) no one will give you a problem. I walked through some of the supposedly most dangerous locations in Medellin and never had a problem.
I usually use the Lonely Planet travel guides, but bought this one because I had read that the newest edition of Lonely Planet's Colombia guidebook was not good. Before I left for my trip, I had a ver positive impression of this book. But once I got on the road, I found that this guidebook came up short. There is a lot of interesting information in the book. The problem is that the book isn't very good at helping you navigate each city. The maps in the book are somewhat useless because in many cases, the maps don't have street names. The author would mention a place to visit, include the address, but then give you no way of finding out where it is on a map or how to get there. How hard would it have been to put a letter/number grid overlay on each map and then include the coordinate for each site in the description right next to the address? The maps include a bunch of popular sites, but without that grid, you can't find anything that you read about. This is particularly critical for cities like Bogota and Medellin, which are large cities with a LOT of small streets.The book also wasn't very helpful with knowing the pros and cons of the various restaurants and hotel options. He would say things like "clean and adequate" when describing a hotel option. "Clean" is fine, but what does "adequate" mean? The descriptions are way too subjective to be able to use them for choosing between different options.It would also have been nice to have more detailed information on how to navigate the buses and metro in each city such as the cost, a route map, etc.If maps and being able to locate places on a map are important to you, then you'll be frustrated by this book. If you plan to rely on the book for hotel and restaurant recommendations, then you'll be frustrated by the book. But if you just want information on the sites to see in various cities and don't need help getting to them, then you'll be happy with how the book was written and the information included.
I bought the older 2014 edition. The most helpful thing it did was to give me a macro view and help plan my 8-day itinerary, which includes three nights in Cartagena and four nights in Medellin. For Cartagena, I scanned the Old City walking tour info, so I don't need to lug around a book. It seemed to be really short on "Must Do's" especially for a big place like Medellin.To be honest, after I planned my rough itinerary, Tripadvisor was probably my most important tool, followed by Google maps, which includes lots of ratings by locals. Yelp hasn't been invented in Colombia...yet! Tons of affordable apartment options in El Poblano Medellin on airbnb, so the hotel recommendations were useless for me there.
I was really let down by this guide and I LOVED South Korea, Mexico, Panama, Angkor Wat, and the Yellowstone guide I am using for my next trip, but Colombia was dreadfully mediocre. Sure, having the color print makes the guide prettier, but I rely on Moon to provide more in-depth detail. Instead, reading the Bogota and Cartagena sections I used just felt like a brief skim through both cities, shallow and superficial like Fodor's usually is in their country guides. The value proposition Moon has offered me traditional is LOTS of practical information and details for destinations where it may be harder to get everything on the internet. It is a great guide for the independent traveler and has blown Lonely Planet out of the water, so I am sorry to see this particular guide stray so far from the others.
It had some practical info about hotels, how to go there and travel times but was missing this info also for many parts of Columbia. We used the Moon travel guide much more while traveling than the National Geographic Traveler which we had also with us. The info published is pretty accurate. Next holiday we will take a Lonely Planet with us on holiday as in the past we had very good experience with it when traveling on holidays. We did not bought the Colombian Lonely Planet as its ratings where lower than for the other guides and it had some bad comments. We regretted when we were in Colombia and did not have a Lonely Planet with us.
