 Choose a different guide! June 6, 2007

Lonely Planet typically does a decent job with its guide books and I have bought quite a few of them. However, Lonely Planet Peru does not make the cut. This book is awful. I just purchased the newest version (2007) for a trip to Peru in May 2007 and the information in the book was almost useless.
First, there is a lot of incorrect information. For example, we had our hearts set on eating at a restaurant recommended by Lonely Planet in Cusco, but when we got to the address, we found that the restaurant was out of business. Also discovered that many addresses are wrong. Descriptions of the bus trip from Puno, Peru to La Paz, Bolivia are misleading, and the overall organization of the book is confusing and very disappointing.
Do yourself a favor and look for a different Peru guide book.

Complete guide to Peru with enough details to make it complete. Lots of personal opinion notes by the author, which I like. The book itself is massive, so I will cut out the portions I wish to carry with me and leave the rest at home. This makes it quite portable. It is also the most recent book on Peru, and is appears to be sufficiently up to date for our purposes.

Good book and very thorough. A good read. But green to the extreme and best for the "Outside Magazine" crowd.

We planned a three week trip using info from this book, booked hotels, found local travel agencies, do it yourself stuff and found lots of information on what to do, see, avoid and even the info on taxis (so you don't get ripped off). We actually added another stop after reading about it in LP. I've used mostly LP guides for travel and haven't been let down. This book was really helpful in how to reach various places since most just take your reservation and you pay cash when you arrive. Includes info on bus and tour companies to use or avoid.
