This review is from: National Geographic Traveler: Panama (Paperback) I purchased this book in anticipation of traveling to Panama in January. I was able to find every place we intend to go and also find a lot of useful hints for our travels. We have traveled to a number of countries and always buy some sort of guides to let us know what to expect and to help us plan our trip. This book gives a concise description of the areas without being too concise but also without being too verbose. I also have the Frommer's guide to Panama and much prefer the much more colorful National Geographic guide. 12 of 15 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: National Geographic Traveler: Panama (Paperback) National Geographic is well known by the quality of their maps & their awesome photography; and this travel guidebook it's no exception. It's very informative without being too in depth. The pictures makes you feel like you're there (in my opinion). This one can complement the Moon's guidebook which focus is just the opposite. Well put together. Highly recommended. 6 of 7 people found the following review helpful: By Skypilot177 "Capt Al" (Brenham, TX United States) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: National Geographic Traveler: Panama (Paperback) This was a pretty good book. Popular with others, as I saw two more copies among fellow travelers. My biggest complaint is the effusive use of adjectives in describing things. More appropriate for the tourism dept. I just want simple facts. If it was pretty, say it was pretty, instead of saying the bejeweled expanse of powdery sand as white as gypsum dazzled the senses, and so forth. |
