As usual, Eyewitness does a terrific job with their latest addition - Argentina! Very informative and detailed, colorful with many photos, maps. All helping you decide where to best spend your time and, if applicable, your very valuable US dollar. What Eyewitness needs though is to come out with a CITY guide for Buenos Aires. There is MORE THAN ENOUGH in the city to spend on an entire book. I would say this was the only lacking feature. Still a great buy and even a great gift for the arm-chair traveler!

I think this guide will be very useful for determining where you want to go in Argentina, but I don't think it will help much once you get there. The lodging and restaurant section is nearly non-existent and what is there is not for the budget traveller or backpacker and most of the rest of it is just pointing out the tourist sights. However, it is very helpful to have so many color photos. There are at least 3 or 4 pictures PER PAGE!!! I wish it had a bit more info, but the pictures really make it worth the money to me.

DK travel guides are great. They have lots of good tips for visiting countries all over the world. Their format is easy for referancing while you travel. And they are small enough to fit in your day pack as you travel. The photos have helped me label my photos post-trip! I purchase a DK travel guide for every country we visit. Love Dk Travel guides!

Very accurate, concise descpitions, with 'right on the money' restaurant picks. A well constructed (glossy) durable guide that is not bulky, fits nicely into a rucksack, and contains an abudance of clear and relevant photo's. We found it very handy as we traveled throughout Argentina.

GET THIS BOOK if you are even marginally thinking of visiting or moving to Argentina. In fact, if you read this book, you may decide to change your life's plans and move to this incredible country!
Super writing, great pictures, well designed layout of the book, easy to use maps and as informative as anything that I have read in years.
This book scores an A+++.

This Eyewitness Argentina Travel Guide is excellant. This book gives you tons of information about the cocuntry. It is not a guidebook for locating restaurants or hotels, hwover it is an excellant guidebook that gives you a lot of data and interesting locations for the country.The quality of the paper and the writing in the book makes it an excellant buy in my opinion.

Considering this is ONE guide for an entire huge country, it serves more as either an introductory guide before you go, or on a multi-city trip where you are not spending more than two days anywhere. If your stay is longer in any one spot, you need to compliment this with additional detailed local guides or you'll wish you had more. But again, for its purpose as an overall Argentina guide, it is excellent. The Eyewitness guides are the best when it comes to presenting a destination in its totality: history, culture, etc in addition to sites.

The Eyewitness Travel Guides are the best guides available. The information is dependable, the pictures and details beautiful, and the choice of information is perfect for most travelers. The only downside is the weight while you're traveling. I've seen professional tour guides, native to the county in question, use these!

This is the best written and illustrated travel guide on Argentina that I have read. The information is pertinant and sufficietly detailed to be very helpful. The excellent photos and illustrations bring the information to life. It is a pleasure to read.

my daughter is a student who studies abroad and these books help prepare her for her next destination. They are easy to read and very informative
