Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

"Mexico is an experience that offers a multitude of cultures, cuisine, environments, handicrafts, art and history." This vast country covers an area of almost 2 million square km encompassing mountains, plains, deserts and beaches--7 million people of a population of an estimated 93.7 million speak one of 50 indigenous tongues. Much credit then, is due to Lonely Planet who have managed to capture Mexico's diverse offerings in one book. Starting with Mexico City and ending in the Yucatan peninsula, this reliable guide will prove invaluable to the first time traveller as well as adding a great wealth of information to the travel aficionados. In keeping with house style, the book also contains detailed information about the culture and history of the country.

Mexico has such an amazing array of things to see and do that trying to plan a trip can be an overwhelming experience--Lonely Planet's highlights sections are particularly useful here--the trustworthy authors give their pick of coasts, archaeological sites, colonial cities, small towns, nature and museums. Details of sights' opening times and entrance fees are as up-to-date as they can possibly be and readers can check for changes and update accordingly via the Lonely Planet Web site.

Guides to accommodation and restaurants cater for the bulging and slightly more depleted wallets alike with prices going from virtually nothing "up to the sky". On the subject of food, there's a well thought out food section to ensure you don't get your empanadas mixed up with your enchiladas. The maps are excellent and full colour photographs are well used. The Lonely Planet series is of a consistently high standard and Lonely Planet Mexico is no exception--a well-researched, well-written guide that will become one of your most valued possessions. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars Big help, 10 Mar 2001
This review is from: Mexico (Lonely Planet Country Guide) (Paperback)
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
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).
