Summary: The Only Tour Guide For SA
Review: To start with, this book is soooo much better than Lonley Planet. The best thing about this book is that it is based on peoples recomendations and not just hostels and guides paying money to a company (ie:Lonley Planet). This book goes into good depth on not only hostel and restuaraunts but also guides for the amazon, tour companies for Machu Pichu, etc... Without this book we never would have found Papa Rancon in the town of Borbon in the middle on know where. This book is a bit more exspensive but it is definitely worth it. The only draw back is that the maps are terrible. Real bad. But if you can hook up a good map before you go you should be all good.

Summary: Comprehensive 1999 edition
Review: While a comprehensive and incredibly detailed guide, we came across several errors in phone numbers and addresses. In Santiago, Chile, there were 4 address and/or phone number errors in the travel agency section. Indeed, the main American Express office listed in the guide had also moved! The guide is the benchmark so their really is no other choice, just call your specific destination before setting out. The phone system had precluded us calling in some cases.
