Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Not a great choice.I recently returned from a month of independent travel in Peru using the Moon Handbook:Peru as my major guide. Thank goodness I also consulted a number of other books because this book has numerous errors and bits of misinformation. I'm not talking about prices which I understand will change but of items the writers should have known about. For example, do not trust their information on the Cusco Tourist Ticket but research it elsewhere. Using the Handbook misinformation cost me money! Another example, after stating that Hotel Paracas was totally destroyed in the tragic 2007 earthquake, the following page contains a recommendation to have a meal there. In the same section, Museo Julio C. Telio receives its own subheading as a place worth visiting ...

Please keep in mind that this is my opinion and my experience using the book. (I found that much information in the book was also opinion.) I went to Peru at the end of April (25-May 2). At the end of April, the weather was absolutely perfect and prices were still cheaper because high season had not fully started. I do recommend the Moon Peru guidebook, although it is certainly not the best that I have used. As most guidebooks, it lacked some valuable information, but overall it is a good guidebook. On such a short trip, I did not agree with the authors' opinions most of the time, especially concerning which place to begin and how much ... Read More: Rating:  - Went with a winnerAfter reading reviews of the Peru books I went with Moon and was not disappointed. We had only one week to visit (summer 2008), and focused on Cusco and Machu Picchu. Used this for everything from hotels to place to eat - and had a great vacation! Rating: - A Great Guidebook Made Even Better! This second edition has managed to improve upon what was already an outstanding guidebook. Ross and the other authors went back to Peru to review and update the information and recommendations from the first edition, and have produced what any traveler should find a most reliable and comprehensive resource. The book provides plenty of information and perspectives on the "classic" destinations, but more importantly includes insights and recommendations on many wonderful locations that are not well recognized and off the beaten tourist paths, and that is what makes this second edition so special. For any traveler searching for ways to turn a "trip" into a lifetime experience, this book WILL NOT disappoint! Rating: - Peru GuidebookSeems to be fairly complete and provides most of the information on what to see and how to see it that I was looking for. Information is presented in sort of a reverse order starting with specific in-country locations with "how to get there" and other practicalities at the end. Seems to be slanted toward backpackers but also mentions mid-range and upscale properties. |
