The best and most accessible guide to Loreto,
By Traveling Reader (Seattle) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Best Guide: Loreto (Best Guides) (Paperback)
Destination guides are typically like reference books -- this is more like a novel in terms of readability and interest. As a regular visitor to Loreto, I was quite impressed that the authors not only delivered the usual roadmap to a vacation, but also provided valuable insights that most visitors and even some residents would miss.
The body of this guidebook is rich with content. While the highlighted sidebars lend color and context. This book brings Loreto to life in a way that enhances the experience of discovering this emerging and largely undiscovered beach resort, fishing village, and cultural gem. In a no-holds-barred (and at times amusing) manner, the reader learns about restaurants, hiking, fishing, whale watching, hotels, and more. I highly recommend this book for both vistors and new residents of the region.

We find this book very helpful when visiting Loreto,
This review is from: Best Guide: Loreto (Best Guides) (Paperback)
Hola!
Loreto is still relatively undiscovered, especially relative to it's bustling southern cousin, Cabo San Lucas. So I was happy to see this book published. Although it's bittersweet... I'd like people to discover Loreto so that local businesses are supported and controlled growth continues, but not too much. So back to the book. It's good: simple and effective. And encapsulates the charm of Loreto in clever sidebars, graphics and memorable quotes. Nice! We don't fish, so that information is not important to us, but it's nice to know it's included. The restaurant reviews, while short, are informative and colorful. Definitely recommended. Loreto is just a little bit better even with a copy of this book to guide you on your adventures. [...]
