About the Author

John Noble viaja desde que era adolescente y, desde los años 80, como autor de Lonely Planet. El número de títulos de Lonely Planet que ha firmado como autor o colaborador alcanza las tres cifras, e incluye una amplia selección de destinos repartidos por todo el mundo, sobre todo aquellos en los que se habla español, ruso o inglés (generalmente, junto a numerosas lenguas locales). Todavía se emociona como el primer día cuando se lanza a la carretera en busca de nuevas experiencias, personas y destinos, sobre todo si son remotos y apartados. Por encima de todo, adora las montañas, desde las del Distrito de los Lagos británico hasta las del Himalaya. En Instagram es @johnnoble11

Stuart Butler pasaba los veranos haciendo surf en las playas del suroeste de Francia, hasta que un día descubrió que estaba tan enganchado a la región que se veía incapaz de abandonarla, y allí sigue. Sus viajes para Lonely Planet y una gran variedad de revistas internacionales de surf lo han llevado por toda Indonesia y más, desde playas de Yemen hasta las selvas costeras del Congo. Los resultados de sus viajes y sus fotografías aparecen con frecuencia en los medios internacionales del surf. Lleva una década escribiendo guías para Lonely Planet de varios destinos.

Lucas Vidgen ha contribuido en varias guías de Latinoamérica para Lonely Planet, incluidas varias ediciones de Argentina y Sudamérica. En la actualidad reside en Quetzaltenango, Guatemala, donde publica -y en la que trabaja ocasionalmente- la revista sobre vida nocturna y cultura más importante de la ciudad, XelaWho.

Josephine Quintero empezó su carrera como periodista en una revista de vinos y estilo de vida en el valle de Napa. Curiosamente, después se mudó al árido Kuwait, donde dirigió el Kuwaiti Digest durante seis años, hasta el 1 de agosto de 1990, día de la invasión iraquí. Tras seis semanas retenida como rehén huyó a Turquía y acabó en Andalucía, donde se gana la vida escribiendo. Es colaboradora habitual de Lonely Planet.

John Hecht ha pasado más de 20 años viajando a México, y durante este tiempo ha participado en numerosas ediciones de guías Lonely Planet dedicadas a este país y a América Central y ha producido una serie de vídeos cortos en Yucatán para Lonely Planet TV. Su madre empieza a perder la esperanza de que regrese a EE UU algún día.

Glad I bought this guide.

Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2016

Verified Purchase

This was my first travel guide book. Before I would use blogs to get information and tips but I am very glad I bought this book for my latest backpacking trip. The guide was very useful and enjoyed the layout. No table of contents so I used sticky notes to mark the pages I needed. Highly recommend for anyone who is looking for an easy to understand and read guide.

As far as the large encyclopedic guides are concerned, this is about as good as they get. Since the guide is essentially the same format as the previous edition, the question most potential readers will have is, what's new?

Most noticeably, Lonely Planet has tweaked the content of the guide to focus more on the sights it believes potential travelers will want to see. As a result, we have more fleshed-out material for the pre-Columbian ruins and the colonial towns, and a proportional thinning of the material focussed on the Gulf and Pacific coast resorts, and northern Mexico in general. The Copper Canyon and northern Mexico still get only summary coverage, which I believe is a major shortcoming since this is, without question, a feature attraction.

The planning devices at the front of the book have been revised too. There's a new "off the beaten track" section that makes some interesting suggestions. These sections in general, together labeled "Plan your Trip," are really quite good. There's a top destinations section, an "If you like..." section, a section of thoughtful itineraries, and various other chapters about food, drink, festivals, and how to travel with children. These chapters should not be confused with the historical and cultural contexts, which appear as a collection of chapters at the END of the book.

The body of the book is the "On the Road" content focussed on the individual locations. All the material you would expect in an encyclopedic travel guide are here. Sights, listings, tour options, transport details, etc... Of course, the listings are right up to date and are representative of the best options even if they're not entirely comprehensive.

Don't let the lovely cover photograph of Santa Prisca in Taxco convince you that this is a guide full of glossy color photographs. It's not. Maps are simple and accurate. There are very few diagrams or other illustrations that readers of DK Eyewitness Guides might be used to. Do NOT buy this book expecting that kind of format.

Finally, this is an encyclopedic guide with comprehensive coverage. There is no attempt to rank or prioritize sights the way a Rick Steves guide does. The Lonely Planet guide is more about breadth than depth.

This is a good solid guide that will help direct you trip, and will guarantee that it will be authentic and fascinating.

It usually takes almost a day for one of these books to pay for itself. You can travel without one--finding restaurants and locating hotels and hostals on your own--but why would anyone do that??? I would rather leave home without a camera, canteen, or a toilet kit than I would without a Lonely Planet.

So-so.

Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2014

Kindle maps too small to be functional. Info for less popular non-tourist stops is minimal, esp in terms of lodging. Good book for beginners. Not much value for the experienced traveler. Far less "street-level" traveler info than first issues which were better "budget" guides. Now the LP guides lean substantially more toward the upscale tourist class as opposed to those with limited budgets.

Even in the age of cellphones and easy access to the internet, you never know when you are not going to be able to connect. This book helped me find cheap places to stay and got me out of a couple of jams when I needed a last-minute reservation.

Outstanding tour guide with just the right amount of detail on history and attractions, and useful maps. Restaurant and hotel reviews are up to date and accurate for the cities we visited: Cuernavaca, Taxco, Mexico City, Puebla, Morelia and Guadalajara.

Well researched, and generally quite accurate and up to date. It does tend to have too many fancy hotels and restaurants. I have used LP for years and most of my 136 countries, and this is one of their better guidebooks.

Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2016

Verified Purchase

The book has been helpful but needs to be updated. For example, at Grutas de Loltún, supposedly the most interesting cave system on the Yucatan peninsula, the mandatory tour guides now charge a steep and non-optional fee, not just an optional tip as the book describes. This requirement is only disclosed AFTER you have paid for parking and tickets. The book needs to be updated to reflect the fact that one can expect to pay upwards of 500 pesos for two adults to see the cave, and by the time you have learned this you have already lost 250 pesos.

Ich habe ein gebrauchtes Exemplar gekauft, das Buch war aber in neuwertigem Zustand, super! Besonders für Individualreisende gehört meiner Meinung nach immer ein Lonely Planet mit ins Gepäck. Nebst den Sehenswürdigkeiten und Restaurants finde ich die Liste der Hotels und die Information über ÖV (wann, wo, wohin, wie teuer, etc) am nützlichsten.
