Lonely Planet guides have a reputation for plainspoken and practical advice as well as thoughtful writing about history and culture, and Lonely Planet Mexico is no exception. Complementing the information about sights, accommodations, and food are extensive background notes about each region's notable past and present characteristics, from cuisine to geography to art. (Check out the full-color illustrated insert on Mexican artesanĂas, or handicrafts.) One note: this edition came out during the worst of the peso devaluation crisis, so the prices quoted may vary widely from the actual amount. It's best to rely on another guidebook for exact prices (try one that comes out every year), but for basic comparative information, Lonely Planet is a good name to trust. Product Description: This updated edition of Lonely Planet's classic guide to Mexico provides current, in-depth travel information and a range of choices for travelers of all budgets and interests. From places to stay to details on festivals and sights to comprehensive information on getting around, this guide covers it all. Color photos. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - What a joy to travel with this guide bookJust came back from three weeks in the Western Central Highlands of Mexico. My first impression, what a joy to travel with this guide book. As an experienced budget traveler, I look for the following in guide books (1) detail city maps, (2) budget hotel listings, (3) detail information on getting from the bus station to the interesting part of town. After all, it's easy to arrive in a bus station and hail a cab; it takes a little more effort to take public transportation. This guide gave me the ...

You can tell that it was written by different people. Not up to the usual standards as far as reviews of lodgings and night clubs, restaurants, etc. Lonely Planet has changed -and not for the better. Rating:  - good enough this is an excellent over view of mostly mainstream Mexico,with a few off-the-wall eclectic destinations and side trips..all and all an excellent introduction to Mexico travel,but for detail you need some back-up..i.e.,Footprint's Mexico/Central America Handbook and esp. Moon regional guides ,i.e. Northern Mexico and also ,Oaxaca handbooks..much needed are guide books and references for the less developed and wilder south-west Sierra;particularly the Cordillera in Michoacan,Guerrero ,and Chiapas... ... Read More Rating:  - Is Lonely Planet Losing Its Touch?I have about five editions of Lonely Planet Mexico. All previous editions (this is the 11th) were better, if not a lot better. They have quit pricing in dollars, so you have to convert to pesos (admittedly not too hard when the exchange rate hovers at $10M to $1US) for hotels and restaurants. (Forget that travel guides for high inflationary countries are obsolete the day they are distributed.) Worse, they have ceased categorizing hotels as "Budget," "Mid-range" and "Top End," instead using a listing ... Read More Rating: - Loved this guideJust got back form Mexico, great guide. Every question I had I found answers for.
