Product Description

Product Description
Packed with essential information in a clear, concise format and delivered in an engaging manner, the second edition of First-Time Latin America helps prepare readers planning their trip. It includes information on what tickets to buy, where to stay, what to eat and how to stay healthy. There are insightful overviews of each Latin America country highlighting thes best places to visit with country specific websites and necessary budget information. It is designed to answer the 'soft' issues not addressed by country-specific guides, for example, how to lessen the culture shock of your very first night in Latin America; what to think about if you're considering travelling on your own and what to do when you return home. This edition includes an expanded chapter on working and studying in Latin America. This guide is designed for the weeks/months before you get on the plane.

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful as your first book, 10 Jun 2003
It is pretty good if you have no idea which part of this interesting continent to go. It gives you a brief view of each country and important places to visit in each country. However, it does not give you fine details like the culture, transport, eating, etc. Once you finalise where to go, you may need to buy a separate guide book that give you these fine details for you to survive in the countries.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent place to start planning your CA/SA trip, 2 Sep 2006
By C. Rolfe (Exeter, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this as I was a little nervous about travelling in Central and South America for the first time and wanted some advice on the main issues I would encounter. It has been a great 'basics' guide, giving me useful advice; some ideas of itineraries, summaries of the countries, plus general advice on weather, cost, what to take, keeping safe and healthy etc. I've been using it as a cross reference with other country/area specific guidebooks and for that purpose it has been great! Just bear in mind that you will need to buy other, more specific guidebooks to accompany this one.

Some of the advice is pretty common sense and a little patronising, but the country reviews are excellant, concise and very relevant.
