.Panama (Country Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > Latin America
by: Matthew Firestone

November 01, 2007
I live in Panama and have bought each of the Lonely Planet Panama books as they have come out. This edition seems to have less information than the last one. In my town, Volcán, there are about 10 places to sleep; six were listed in the previous edition, but just one in this book - and the one shown is an odd, out-of-the-way place offering large cabins for extended families.

I wonder if I can trust Lonely Planet to give me the information I've come to trust them for. I will look at other guides more carefully as options to LP for my other travels.

.Frommer's Chile & Easter Island, 1st Edition (Frommer's Complete)
City Travel Guides > Books > Latin America
by: Stephan Küffner, Kristina Schreck

July 17, 2007
As the author of the newly-revised "Complete Guide to Easter Island" I believe I can say with some authority that I am qualified to comment on the Easter Island portion of this book and I might not feel so strongly about doing so if the title of the book didn't include "Easter Island".

With the release of its first edition of "Chile and Easter Island", Frommer's has joined the community of guidebook publishers to offer coverage of, duh, Chile and Easter Island, though in keeping with many such guidebooks -- Moon Handbooks and Lonely Planet among them -- there is an inexplicably inadequate and disproportionate percentage of space devoted to Easter Island despite the fact that "Easter Island" shares half the book's title. (Note, by the ... Read More:

.Choose Mexico for Retirement, 10th: Information for Travel, Retirement, Investment, and Affordable Living (Choose Retirement Series)
City Travel Guides > Books > Latin America
by: John Howells, Don Merwin

June 01, 2007
Like I would imagin many that purchase this book I'm considering retiring and am seeking the opportunities to experience a different culture, a slower pace, an area with better values and less crime, lower taxes and a lower cost of living. I'd like to find that secure feeling of rural-town america of years ago before everyone sought entitlement, special interest groups recieved preferiental treatment, and we passed laws ensuring evryone's individual rights became far more important than our societies needs. Is this Mexico? This book provides an insight to some of the cultural differences, climate differences of areas, cost of living differences and some other very benefitial information. I would reccomend this well-written book to anyone considering ... Read More:

.People's Choice Guide Cancun 2008 - Cancun Travel Guide & Survey
City Travel Guides > Books > Latin America
from: Turbulence Music Corp.

March 21, 2008
I am a repeat customer of Peoples Choice Guide Cancun and the new 2008 edition is fantastic. There are many helpful improvments, such as you can now search by Food Category and the Proximity Guide where you can quickly locate Restaurants and Clubs close to your Hotel. The locations for the hotels, restaurants and clubs are pinpointed to 1/10 of a km, which makes it far easier than saying "between km 9 and km 10. When you are driving, riding or whatever in a foreign land you don't want to be in busy traffic looking for a km to find a place.

I live in Cancun and even as a resident this book is most helpful. Locals have to eat out too. When I travel I always try to find a Travel Guide before I plan my trip. It would be great if this guide was ... Read More:

.Travellers' Wildlife Guides Costa Rica (Travellers' Wildlife Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Latin America
by: Les Beletsky

October 31, 2004
I found this book only really useful for mammals. I had to supplement this book for amphibians, reptiles, and especially for birds. I found it is really only good for 'popular species' of the non-mammals. If you are a casual naturalist and only want to bring one book, it is ok, but if you trying to really id a lot of organisms and add to your life-list, this isn't a great book.
