Useful if you run out of toilet paper...,
By A Customer
This review is from: South America on a Shoestring (Lonely Planet Shoestring Guides) (Paperback)
I agree with the other review here. This book is far too vague to be of good use, some of the places mentioned in the book did not even contain maps - the single most useful thing for any place you visit.It omits so much other information (only giving you the places to stay and eat) that you miss out on so much of local interest - such as excellent hikes, ruins or other places to visit. There's loads repeated (unnecessarily) for each country. I lost count of the number of times the book warns you to "watch your bags like a hawk at the bus station" - like you need reminding of that in *any* country. I think that the Dangers and Annoyances sections of all the countres should have been combined - it would probably save a few dozon pages. In the end I abandoned it for an individual guide to Bolivia (unfortunatly the last place I was to visit) but I would recommend that you ignore this book and take individual guides and then sell/swap them when you leave each country. They may well be heavier and take up a bit more space, but it's *really* worth it!
