First Sentence
To explore Mexico is to walk through rain forests and along tropical beaches, to traverse vast deserts and gaze at snow-capped volcanoes, and to walk the streets of teeming cities, sleepy indigenous villages, chic resorts and the ruined cities of the great Aztec, Maya and other civilizations that flourished here centuries ago.

4.0 out of 5 stars Big help, 10 Mar 2001

By	Christine Mendoza "The girl next door" (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Mexico (Lonely Planet Country Guide) (Rag Book)

This is as good as the guides of Mexico get. It is a big country and things can change fast (hotels, resturants go out of biz ect.). Overall I think this book covers the country as well as can be expected, it will lead the novice to some great places you might not otherwise find, but old hands will not get as much use out of it. I recommend a person buy guild books that specialize in certain areas of Mexico, i.e. there are some great books on the Yucatan. If you are looking for a good beach read I recomend: "A Tourist in the Yucatan" a thriller/mystery that is like a travelog of the Yucatan, fun book!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not up to the usual LP standard, 26 Feb 2006

By	K. Burman - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Mexico (Lonely Planet Country Guide) (Paperback)

Im a big fan of LP as it usually has all the info you need for transport, hotels, things to see etc
This edition was a bit a let down though. Specifically it failed to list many of the cheap hostels and many descriptions are way out. To give just one example (and there are many more that I cant be bothered to list them all), a look on hostelworld shows 4 hostels in both Playa del Carmen and Merida but LP only lists 1. The Playa hostel is decribed as "unusually quiet" - in fact it has young backpackers staying up to all hours playing drinking games and having "fun" Also a lot of the prices are way out -the back up options listed at $25-35 are all now $40-50 - not really budget. Prices were also out for everything from museum tickets to buses to food. I expect things to have changed a bit, but double is just too much
Another thing I found irritating was the way it constantly emphasised how dangerous everyhing was from taxis to nightbuses to beach resorts. Obviously if there is a problem then fair enough to warn people, but overdoing it just makes travellers paraniod and negative to the point of avoiding nice, interesting places that are in fact probably safer than your home town (Im sure San Cristobal in Chiapas or Oaxaca are safer than Miami, New York, Vancouver etc)
This edition desparately needs an overhaul - wait until it comes out or choose a different guide
Although looking at the reviews below about the old edition it seems like the writers did bugger all research in updating the the 2004 edition

4.0 out of 5 stars dont be so pessamistic, 23 Jun 2004

By	JAMES RUSSELL - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mexico (Lonely Planet Regional Guides) (Paperback)

I have just returned from mexico having used this title (and a more recent eddition than those reviewed). As with all guide books in such countries lonely planet mexico is not 100% accurate. Just because it says a room is $5 a night doesnt mean you dont have to bargain for it!! the important stuff like bus info, the maps and locations where all fairly accurate, but when it comes down to it a guide is a guide, not a bible, and you get far more out of your trip if you remember this. i tried to use the information in emergencies only, and attempted to get as much info as possible from other travellers and other sources. this seems to be the best mix, but the planet is invaluable when it comes to the important stuff- health, customs, police, boarder crossing, etc. compared to the other guides i picked up, and from the other people i talked to, the planet seemed to be the best for the budget traveller, and deffinately had the best maps of the big 3 (rough guide, footprint and lonely planet).
