AN IMPORTANT NOTE
The world is a dynamic place. Hotels change ownership, restaurants hike their prices, museums alter their opening hours, and busses and trains change their routings. And all of this can occur in the several months after our authors have visited, inspected, and written about, these hotels, restaurants, museums and transportation services. Though we have made valiant efforts to keep all our information fresh and up-to-date, some few changes can inevitably occur in the periods before a revised edition of this guidebook is published. So please bear with us if a tiny number of the details in this book have changed. Please also note that we have no responsibility or liability for any inaccuracy or errors or omissions, or for inconvenience, loss, damage, or expenses suffered by anyone as a result of assertions in this guide.

A Look at Colombia
E merging like a sleeping jaguar and finally, definitively shedding its decades-long association with civil war and narco-bandits, Colombia is waiting to be discovered. The vibrant cities of Bogot, Medelln, and Cartagena shimmy to the salsa music that pours from every bar and automobile. With splendid plazas and churches, haute and homey restaurants, and museums awash in looted gold, the nation is home to a diverse population that proudly keeps alive traditional Spanish, African, native, and Caribbean cultures and customs. Off-the-grid adventure beckons in the lush jungles of the Amazon and the Pacific Coast, or on challenging Andean treks. Paradise calls from postcard-perfect San Andrs and Providencia, while the mystery and magic realism of favorite son Gabriel Garca Mrquez pulses through remote indigenous villages and once-forgotten colonial towns. Our Easy Guide presents the most authentic experiences in a country that defines authentic. Buen viaje!
