3.0 out of 5 stars Review from someone living in Peru, 7 Jun 2003
Disappointing when compared to the Lonely Planet Guide to Bolivia where I have also lived (that guide was excellent and warrants 5*). Has all the main tourist attractions but misses out on some of the smaller places which are essential for anyone here for a longer time and looking for places to visit outside Lima which you can get to in a weekend. That said, I haven't read all the other guides so others may be similiar in content.

3.0 out of 5 stars Reasonable, but misses out a lot of key information, 24 Jan 2002
By A Customer
This book is not bad on the main destinations, such as Cusco, but if you want to go off the beaten track then it misses out too much.

1.0 out of 5 stars Out of Date, 3 May 2003
By Alex Czarnobaj (El Salvador) - See all my reviews
After buying 14 Lonely Planet guides in as many years, I would have to say that the guide to Peru is by far the most inferior one that I have bought.
The book can only be used as a "very rough guide". The sections dealing with costs, transport and a number of hotels is well out of date and in need of urgent updating. Even though the book does mention that things change, the book is not up to the standard one expects from Lonely Planet.
The book's strong points are that it does act as a guide book, it does tell of interesting places that may not be on the usual tourist trails as well as those which are more commonly visited.
However, much of the writing is very self-opinionated and would be improved by having a different style of writing or at least more contributors making serious contributions.
