Book Reviews of Lonely Planet Peru (Country Guide)
Book Review: Great guide for Peru
Summary: 5 Stars
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!Book Review: Great place to start, but I wanted more
Summary: 3 Stars
My family used this guide on our recent trip to Peru and it certainly gave us the basic information. It was a good place to start while planning our trip. We used it extensively.
In general, the organization of the book could be better. I believe it is targeted at the younger crowd as there is extensive information on clubs and night life as well as adventure travel, but not all that much for families with younger children (i.e. some child friendly itinerary suggestions would be nice) although they do address most concerns that families have. We didn't see that many families with children traveling in Peru, so maybe it's not a popular destination for families, but my 8 year old loved it!
I was disappointed in the index. It was difficult to find some information that I knew was in there--had already read it--but then couldn't find it again. I was also disappointed in the lack of any small phrasebook section except a brief one in the food section of the book. I did not want to pack a separate phrasebook (traveling light in Peru is very helpful) and my Spanish is mediocre at best.
Book Review: Just as represented

Good book and very thorough. A good read. But green to the extreme and best for the "Outside Magazine" crowd.
