Summary: Highly recommended
Review: From Planeta Journal - The Handbook looks better than ever. This new edition of the Mexico and Central America guide provides reliable information about general tourism as well profiles of national parks and reserves. Explore the ruins of Copan in Honduras, Oaxaca's beaches or Belize's cayes. This is a terrific guide. The format is easy to follow. Colorful pictures and maps compliment the text. Highly recommended.

Summary: Loads of info, sometimes at the expense of accuracy
Review: I just completed my travels in July 2000, using Footprints. For the most part, the book was useful, for finding hotels and things to do. I bought Footprints because it was the only book that had both Mexico and Central America. I found that it contained a lot of outdated and inaccuarate information. I think that it was because the writers tried to cover too much territory in one book. Although it saved space my backpack, I would probably recommend to others to use 2 books - one for Mexico and the other for Central America.

Summary: Handbook Series
Review: I'm a big fan of the Handbook series; I began using the Latin America Handbook in 1972, have used it over many years, and have used any of the rest of the series that I could find, whenever and wherever I have found them. I used the 1996 edition for Mexico and Cuba, and it confirmed my opinion that there is no better guidebook available for Latin America. I'm headed for Central America in a few days, and unfortunately haven't been able to get a copy in time, so I've had to get another - O.K., but I will miss the thorough coverage of the Mexico and Central American Handbook. It's good for places to stay at all levels, for services, for transportation, and gives good general information such as history, current situations, and most importantly, is updated every year.
