Summary: Not the right guide for baja
Review: Disappointing. I have used lp guides in latin america before with a great deal of satisfation and I understand that prices go up and things change. However the guide to Baja was not up to lp's usual quality. I think the research for the update was just not as thorough as it usually is for lp guides. The bus schedules were way off and didn't make sense. In the town of San Quintin there were three bus terminals and five bus companies with widely varying prices and none of that was mentioned in the book. Some ommisions and mistakes are to be expected in a guide book but in this one they occured far too frequently. In short, this guide is rarely valuable for a budget traveler, and if you are headed to Baja (which is by the way a beautiful place) I would look into other potentially more accurate guides.

Summary: A really good guide
Review: I'm just back from a two week travel in the beautiful BAJA and I have to say that this Lonely Planet guide book is excellent. The good thing about this book is the really good maps of a lot of town. With this book I was able to saw everything i wanted. I really recommand this book to someone who is planning to go on bus, its got all the precise information about bus schedule, bus terminal, etc...... A real good guide !!!!!
