Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Reliable travel info, though off on prices.
I traveled for two weeks in Peru this past November using the LP guide. The transportation, restaurant, and hostel info were all great- I actually ended up staying at the "Editor's Picks" accommodations on two different occasions and was really pleased- but you will find that the actual prices are about 20-30% higher than listed in the guide. Aside from that, the guide is informative and well organized. Would definitely recommend it to anyone traveling that way.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A decent travel guide for the economy traveler
I use the Lonely Planet travel guides all of the time. They are of great help in trip planning. I am a budget traveler normally, being more interested in seeing the local sights and local aves than in staying at 5 star hotels. This travel guide fills that purpose explicitly. My one critique is that smaller towns are not very well covered if at all. The guide does provide very useful information on bus connections and where the bus stations are located. The maps are not always completely accurate ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - a classic
Helped me a lot while I was trying to figure out things on my own.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - so wrong about cusco
my wife and i spent 4 days in cusco and could not find a single restaurant that lonely planet recommended. my wife is fluent in spanish and we spoke with locals and touristico police and NOBODY had even heard of the restaurants. very frustrating.

and cusco sucks, don't waste time there. arequipa is a million times better.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great guide for Peru
I bought this book for my daughter. She is in Peru, and brought the book with her to use as a guide for everything. I read it first, and it was a great book, it tells you just about everything you need to know, and bring when you travel to Peru. I highly recommend this book,it is one of the best books on Peru!
