Summary

Allan M. Gathercoal (reader), Norcross, GA, USA: "This is a very good guide. After using it for one month in Peru, I was impressed by the solid and pertinent information. Outstanding are the multiple sidebars chock-full of meaningful -- and practical -- information about all aspects of the culture you're visiting, which is the hallmark of Rough Guides. Overall, you can't go wrong with this top-drawer guide. Highly recommended." Sunday Times, London: "The best guidebook ... especially strong on the Amazon."
