Summary: A decent travel guide for the economy traveler 2008-11-15
Comment: I use the Lonely Planet travel guides all of the time. They are of great help in trip planning. I am a budget traveler normally, being more interested in seeing the local sights and local aves than in staying at 5 star hotels. This travel guide fills that purpose explicitly. My one critique is that smaller towns are not very well covered if at all. The guide does provide very useful information on bus connections and where the bus stations are located. The maps are not always completely accurate and the locations specified for restaurants and hotels are not always exactly where they should be, but for the volume of information that is covered they due a more than sufficient job. The book is very good about providing internet addresses to various Peru links.

Summary: so wrong about cusco 2008-09-26
Comment: my wife and i spent 4 days in cusco and could not find a single restaurant that lonely planet recommended. my wife is fluent in spanish and we spoke with locals and touristico police and NOBODY had even heard of the restaurants. very frustrating.
and cusco sucks, don't waste time there. arequipa is a million times better.

Summary: Great guide for Peru 2008-07-11
Comment: 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!
