.At the Tomb of the Inflatable Pig: Travels Through Paraguay
City Travel Guides > Books > Central and South America
by: John Gimlette

February 05, 2004
Although the above review title is somewhat histronic & superlative, I stand by my words - this is a superb book & a real gem for anyone, Paraguay fans or not.
It is also the epitome of how a travel book should be written - completely unpretenious, always inviting the reader to join in their travels, rather than exclude them, so we can enjoy the privilege of travel, it brings alive the wonderfully eccentric country that is Paraguay, and focuses on the country and not the writer!
On top of that, it was insightful, very funny indeed, brilliant at not only painting a picture, but giving the historical background too - I have learnt more about one country in one book than I have in any book.
This book is a travel book, ... Read More:

.The Rough Guide Map Costa Rica and Panama (Rough Guide Map)
City Travel Guides > Books > Central and South America
from: Rough Guides Ltd

March 31, 2005
This is an up to date map of Costa Rica and Panama , features all the main and small roads including the new road from David to Bocas del Toro , It is made of good and resistent paper and is very clear and easy to read.
I had some maps from previous trips but nothing compared to the quality of this one , I recommened it to anyone travelling to Costa Rica or Panama who wants to go off the beaten track and explore.

.The Cloud Garden: A True Story of Adventure, Survival, and Extreme Horticulture
City Travel Guides > Books > Central and South America
by: Tom Hart Dyke, Paul Winder

February 02, 2004
And now for something completely different.

Tom Hart Dyke, (the plant nut), and Paul Winder, (the climbing nut), tell the harrowing story of their capture in the Darien Gap.

"Don't go there" they are told again, and again, and again. Do they listen! Of course they didn't, if they had, they would not have been able to write this book.

With each young man giving their own accounts of their experiences throughout, they take us on a daunting journey. The story starts as a tale of their meeting. The colourful and detailed scenes give the reader (if they have an imagination) a real feel for the surroundings. The graphic details of the camps, the sights and smells, give the reader all that is needed to be dragged ... Read More:

.The Motorcycle Diaries
City Travel Guides > Books > Central and South America
by: Ernesto Guevara

January 15, 1996
This is the short, eloquent account of Che's travels around South America. He is very descriptive and evocative and this book is not only a great travelogue, but it is also a great insight into what made Che become the revolutionary he did. It looks at the exploits and relationships he experienced on the road, looking day to day for the next meal, lift or bed. A good insight into this iconic figure and a damn good read to boot.

.South American Handbook (Footprint Travel Guide) (Footprint Travel Guide Series)
City Travel Guides > Books > Central and South America
by: Ben Box

August 24, 2007
We purchased this book after reading other reviews and were very disappointed. Much of the information was factually incorrect, we disagreed with hotel and restaurant recommendations and often found them to be closed down or some of the worst places we stayed or ate if we did use them. In many cases we wondered if the guide writers had even been to the places and throughout south america these books could be found in any secondhand shop that sold english books!

Also, prices are quoted in USD not local currency which makes it virtually impossible to use them as a reference. Overall very disappointing!
