4 out of 5 stars Helpful, but don't treat it as a bible   March 27, 2010
Mr Fish
Was invaluable in my trip through south america. There are plenty of inaccuracies though. You can't depend on the timetales and costs of things but it does provide you with all of the information that you'll need to have a successful and enjoyable trip.

This is a very complete book about south america: history and culture of each country, which are the main atractions and different kind of tours that can be organized, several tips to choose the hotel, where to eat, the travel agency to organize the tours, etc. Really recommend this book to any traveller going to that continent.


3 out of 5 stars Not bad but not good either...   October 28, 2009
C. D. Fuller (Cheltenham, UK)
We are currently travelling around South America for three and a half months and whilst we never expected the shoestring guide to give us in depth information about each country, we did expect it to be at least vaguely accurate. Whilst prices are of course vulnerable to change , putting things in American dollars instead of the local currency doesn't help, neither does its patronising or ridiculous suggestions like this little gem about begging ``Think twice about indiscriminately handing out sweets, or money instead teach a game or share a photograph of family or friends...`` !!!!!!!! Thanks Lonely Planet Ill try that in the backstreets of Rio! Furthermore we were at times left wondering whether some of the authors had actually visited the countries they were describing as their descriptions of some places (middle Chile in particular) seemed somewhat at odds with reality!
Overall the guide is useful for its maps, and its activities and sights sections are normally quite good but it just seems a little bit patchy to be relied upon.



5 out of 5 stars Everything you need to know!   May 8, 2009

The book contains many useful details and it's very informative. You can find anything you need in this book. The only thing missing would be some more pictures.
