 Great guide for Peru July 11, 2008
I bought this book for my daughter. She is in Peru, and brought the book with her to use as a guide for everything. I read it first, and it was a great book, it tells you just about everything you need to know, and bring when you travel to Peru. I highly recommend this book,it is one of the best books on Peru!

I am not a huge fan of Lonely Planet Guides like everyone else is...I much prefer Rough Guides. That said, this LP is much more up-to-date than Rough Guide Peru. It's helpful and gives you the facts, but I find the tone and attitude of the authors to be too jaded for my tastes. They seem to like being alternative for the sake of being alternative. I hope Rough Guide comes out with an update before my trip. Otherwise I'll be taking my Moon Guide, which I've found very helpful and upbeat.

As always, Lonely Planet gives you all of the information you need for a trip that meets and exceeds all of your expectations. This includes those little known corners of a place that are the most memorable.

I am a seasoned backpacker and have been to places in the remote jungles of the Philippines to the cosmopolitan city of Sydney and back. I have tried using Fodors and Frommers, but Lonely Planet has by far served me better. I am not saying that I totally depend on Lonely Planet for all of my travel needs and resources, but I use it as an invaluable resource especially for transportation and maps. I have yet to use the Rough Guide Series or the Moon Series, so I cannot speak on their behalf.
