CDLV ?? Any clues??

Hey guys
So I was reading a review of the new Lonely Planet Colombia guide (yes I know probably written by people who have never been there) and a reviewer on Amazon said that LP totally missed writing about a great place in Colombia ... he didn't name it, just gave a clue .... "CDLV" ...... any idea what or where this is?

Thanks!

dear nueva york bombero

Nina isla, I read that book and found it very useful. I didn't realize it
was a suspense novel........:)

NYB ... i was referring more to this guy that wrote a review of the book on amazon.com ... search for LP Colombia on amazon.com read the reviews I think its on the 2nd page, he is like "LP missed the best place in Colombia, it would be like writing about the USA and not mentioning the Grand Canyon, i'll give you a clue CDLV" ... so I was like whoa lemme go ask the PBHers, they'll know :)

nueva york bombero says on Apr 13, 2008, 21:12:

Oh, I thought you knew and were holding out on us......
Understood.
Well now I am more intrigued....
I will search tomorrow, unless someone finds it tonight....
Suerte!

Cabo de la Vela is on the Guajira peninusula, roughly between Taganga and the Venezuelan border. Vicshere wrote a very in depth report on the area a while back it can be found at

Right outside of San Gil (Bucaramanga, Departmento de Santander).Chicamocha Canyon (El Cañón del Chicamocha) is a National Park and is considered Colombia's "Grand Canyon." Don't step over the edge-it's about 1500 m straight down.

Good to see you Gator

But, I'm going to start making some assumptions here.... Which means I might actually end up making an ass out of myself ..........Thu 04 17, 2008 11:34 am

Good job boys! I came across this area on Google Earth the other day. I was wondering what extended past Tyrona to the North. There's actually photos of different spots.
