Summary: Inca Wonderland
Review: I bought this book mainly because it was supposed to be up to date. Some of the information (most notably internet addresses) is already outdated. The information itself is valuable but prices should be cross referenced. Through this book I was able to save more than a hundred dollars on a Lima-Cuzco flight. That fact alone pays for the book 4 times over. In short, if you want to visit Peru, Ecuador, or Bolivia on a budget this is your book but use it as a rough guide and not as your sole source of information.

Summary: Let's Go really (is bad)
Review: I only bought this because it has Peru, Ecuador, and Bolivia and I was going to all three and only those three.
I previously used the England, Scotland, Ireland one.
These books are not geared towards travelers who travel to learn rather than be sporty.
They are helpful to an extent, but the Lonely Planet books seem to be more intelligent.
Not all young travelers are out to party and shag the locals.

Summary: A few good guidelines - but a lot of irritating mistakes
Review: It may be understandable that these are 3rd world countries, and things change all of the time (especially prices). However it often seems as though the reviewers couldn't be bothered to find out the correct opening-times to tourist information centres etc. However as a rough guide it pretty much covers everything with invaluable town maps as well as hotel,hostel and restaurant recommendations. It is a good thing too that finally one of the big Travel Guide's have included Bolivia to their Peru and Ecuador book to create a succinct yet sufficient review of the popular trio of destinations. Avoid taking a library in your backpack - this book should cover your needs - if you are going to two or three of these destinations then this is certaintly the book for you - but don't trust all the information it gives you.
