Another high quality guide from DK, superbly written and lavishly illustrated. In my view, DK travel guides are among the best, if indeed they are not the best, on the market. They also double as a lasting souvenir, being packed with interesting material to rediscover, long after the trip is over. A bargain price and speedy delivery by Amazon.

A work of art that fails to inspire
25 Oct 2001
Format:Paperback
If you want the definitive picture guide ot the wonderful archaeological sights of Mexico, then this book is it. All the major cities are covered in spendid colour - as is Mexico city. The eidtors have done a wonderful job in bringing the highlights alive. When you open the pictures pages you will really want to see the real thing up close.
But outside, this area, the book doesn't really have all the information you really need to plan a trip and fully understand what you are seeing. I really like the Cadogan guide books since they are extremely detailed. This is a bit brief for my liking.

This is a "Must" for anyone traveling to Mexico!
25 Mar 2000
Format:Paperback
This book is an essential for anyone traveling to Mexico and I will be taking my copy when I go. The numerous full color photographs are excellent and give a great idea of what to expect for each region. Eyewitness Mexico gives a great introduction to the history, people, landscape and wildlife of Mexico, sections devoted to Mexico City and each region of the country, and great information about restaurants and places to stay. Descriptions of what to see and do are complete and most helpful. The Practical Information section at the back of the book lists everything from travel information to banking to health precautions to security. The pictures and description of the different Mexican dishes are wonderful! There is a plentiful supply of maps throughout the book, but what really sets this book apart from others are the 3-D maps. These maps give the traveler a very accurate picture of each area portrayed. This is an incredible book which can be enjoyed while planning your trip, just to learn about the many facets of Mexico or after you return as a reminder of the people and country through its beautiful photography. This is the best book about Mexico I have encountered.

Mexico-But not in detail
12 Jun 2007
Format:Turtleback
I love the Eyewitness Travel Guides, I already have some of them, and because of my great experience with them in Prague, Italy, Russia, and other places, I wanted to get the one for Mexico. But once I got it I was already disapointed by its size being half of the other ones that I got. The regions that interested my most was Guadalajara and Jalisco, which are only described on 2-3 pages, although being the colonial hartland of Mexico. A lot of emphasis is put on Mexico City, and the Jucatan Area. So if you travel there, I can recomend the book. For those who dont like to travel to the typical touristy areas, i'd say rather not.
