Product Description
This series is so popular that it's growing by leaps and bounds. Following the notable success of "Belize Pocket Adventures" and "Yucatan Pocket Adventures", we now offer four more titles in this lightweight, portable format. Designed to be used while you're on the go, "Hunter's Pocket Adventures" fit in your pocket with ease and make the perfect take-along reference. They contain all the practical travel information you need - places to stay and eat, tourist information resources, travel advice, emergency contacts, and more - plus condensed sections on history and geography that give you good background knowledge of the destination. The authors are fascinated with the destination and their passion comes across in the text, which is lively, revealing, and a pleasure to read. Sidebars highlight unusual facts and tell of local legends, adding to your travel experience. Detailed town and regional maps make planning day-trips or city tours easy. Adventures covered range from town sightseeing tours and nature watching to sea kayaking and organized jungle excursions. Travellers looking for a more relaxed vacation may want to sign up for traditional dance lessons in Bolivia, drum classes in the Dominican Republic, or attend a weaving school in Bolivia - these cultural adventures will introduce you to the people and afford you a truly unique travel experience.

4.0 out of 5 stars Despite some shortcomings - Strongly Recommended., September 1, 2006
This review is from: Pocket Adventures Bolivia (Pocket Adventures) (Adventure Guide to Bolivia (Pocket)) (Paperback)
Over the last two years I have traveled Bolivia four times. Among the score of Bolivian guides that I have reviewed, two stand out: "Pocket Adventures Bolivia" and "Footprint Bolivia". Both are solid guides, yet, both have their flaws.

"Pocket Adventures Bolivia" has great recommendations for both accommodations and restaurants. It has maps for all the major cities and each maps list the locations of the recommended eateries and lodgings. The `Introduction' section is brief, but informative (history, culture, ecology, etc.). Each city (or location) is well laid out and out of all of the guides that I have reviewed, none is better than "Pocket Adventures Bolivia" in listing the best tour operators for each city or area.

The shortcomings of the guide can be irritating, but none of them are crippling. Though this guide claims a 2006 publication date, the research and writing is 2004/2005. The airlines `LAB' (mentioned throughout the guide) is in...Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Great travel information, August 2, 2010

This review is from: Pocket Adventures Bolivia (Pocket Adventures) (Adventure Guide to Bolivia (Pocket)) (Paperback)
This book has loads of info on Bolivia. We purchased it a couple of years ago when we planned a trip there. Unfortunately, we never made it, since that was during the time that the government's attitudes towards Americans and the USA were pretty negative. I am keeping it, though, and hoping to use it when we finally do get to go.

4.0 out of 5 stars thorough, August 10, 2009

Describes history, culture, etc., in brief overviews that give just enough info without being overly long or tedious. Restaurants and hotels are placed into three categories according to price, which is a must for me when I travel. Many travel books only cover budget hotels or high-end hotels, whereas this one runs the gamut. The mid-range hotels I stayed in were very much as described in this book. No complaints.
