 Rating:  - Great guide for PeruI bought this book for my daughter. She is in Peru, and brought the book with her to use as a guide for everything. I read it first, and it was a great book, it tells you just about everything you need to know, and bring when you travel to Peru. I highly recommend this book,it is one of the best books on Peru! Rating: - Lonely Planet PeruThe book was exactly as I expected and was in excellent condition. It arrived in a very timely manner. Rating:  - EhI am not a huge fan of Lonely Planet Guides like everyone else is...I much prefer Rough Guides. That said, this LP is much more up-to-date than Rough Guide Peru. It's helpful and gives you the facts, but I find the tone and attitude of the authors to be too jaded for my tastes. They seem to like being alternative for the sake of being alternative. I hope Rough Guide comes out with an update before my trip. Otherwise I'll be taking my Moon Guide, which I've found very helpful and upbeat. Rating: - Peru, Lonely Planet GuideAs always, Lonely Planet gives you all of the information you need for a trip that meets and exceeds all of your expectations. This includes those little known corners of a place that are the most memorable. Rating: - Lonely Planet is one of my most important travel accessoriesI am a seasoned backpacker and have been to places in the remote jungles of the Philippines to the cosmopolitan city of Sydney and back. I have tried using Fodors and Frommers, but Lonely Planet has by far served me better. I am not saying that I totally depend on Lonely Planet for all of my travel needs and resources, but I use it as an invaluable resource especially for transportation and maps. I have yet to use the Rough Guide Series or the Moon Series, so I cannot speak on their behalf. |
