Bestellt, Packet geöffnet, Inhaltsverzeichnis und Index gelesen - und zurückgeschickt. Der wohl schlechteste LP auf dem Markt, der nur einen Bruchteil der relevanten Reiseziele überhaupt aufführt. Weder Rioacha (Cabo de la Vela! - gilt als einer der highlieghts in Kol.) noch Tumaco an der Pazifikküste werden erwähnt. Man vergleiche nur die Rezensionen auf amazon.com - diese hätten eine Warnung darstellen sollen. Ich habe die Seiten aus dem South American Handbook über Kolumbien herausgerissen und zusammengeheftet. Besser, man kauft sich vor Ort den "Guía de rutas por Colombia".

Information are wrong. You get to know that the authors have no idea what they are talking about. You relize that they don't travel to the described things for actualizing it but give the sights a call. Really really bad!

Worst LP Guidebook I Have Ever Used
29. Januar 2007
I just returned from a 2 week trip to Colombia. We stayed one week in the mountain town of Pasto, where my Ecuadorian wife has friends, and one week in Cartagena. The section on Pasto was OK. But the section on Cartagena was terrible. The hotels mentioned were mostly limited to cheap backpacker places in Getsemani, the worst part of town. I have stayed in many $5 places myself. But my wife, like most Latinas, knows that super cheap hotels often double as brothels or "love motels" in Latin America and refuses to stay at them. They also don't mention any hotels in Bocagrande, where most Colombians on vacation stay. I understand that Lonely Planet caters mostly to foreign tourists on a tight budget. But LP also offers the only current guidebook to Colombia and needs to cover a much broader price range in order to be of use to all types of travellers.The restaurant info was also very limited and of little use.
Furthermore, the 2006 edition offers practically nothing new in its "update" to the 2003 edition. A waste of money!

Did They really visit Colombia?
25. Januar 2007
This is a very poor Lonely Planet book. I think the reason is that Colombia is still considered dangerous, though for the tourists it is not, and LP authors don't go to dangerous places. The example of that would be Haiti - no guidebook, no update in the new Caribbean guidebook, due to "unstability". Well Rough Guide Authors didn't have a problem with visiting Haiti and french Petit Fute has a recently updated book all about the island. And it isn't dangerous. Lonely Planet just chickend out. I think we have the same problem here. After Mr. Dydynski, noone s just brave enough at LP to visit "risky destinations". The question is, why write a guidebook like this at all.
Anyway, I've visited Barranquilla and Cartagena with this book. The part about Cartagena was OK, though the choice of restaurants was limited and I'm not sure they chose the best ones. The chapter on Barranquilla was laughable. I know it's not really a pretty tourist town, but people do visit it (and not only for the carnival), so LP authors should really write a bit more pages about it. It's a large city and got the amount of info as small towns do in other LP guides.
Well, to sum it up. Colombia is a very interesting country of over 40 million inhabitants and numerous atractions... now look at the number of pages in the book - small countries get 2-3 times fater LP guides... well, case closed - it can't be good!

Very poor
14. Januar 2007
Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I have been using lonely planet guide books all over the world for over 20 years. This is a poor effort by lonely Planet and the authors. Very limited information for a country full of incredible people and places.
