A Good Start,
This review is from: Ecuador, Peru And Bolivia: The Backpacker's Manual (Paperback)
I just came back from a trip to Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador and this book was a very good way to prepare myself to it before going. Its sugestions for equipment and what you really need to carry or not with you were great. But once I got there, some problems start to happen: like incorrect or missing info about remote parts of Ecuador, cordillera Blanca in Peru or cordillera Real in Bolivia.It gave me the impression that they are really at the beggining of their explorations, but I am sure that the following updated editions are going to be really good, since they have some nice background information about the history, culture and tourist sights of each country. Although they are not 100% either, you can trust in Peru and Bolivia: Backpacking and Trekking or Climbing and Hiking in Ecuador, both from Bradt Books. But your best choice is really to buy the Lonely Planet guides for each of these countries, since they are the most reliable in the market today.

a poor beginning,

This review is from: Ecuador, Peru And Bolivia: The Backpacker's Manual (Paperback)
Im on my way to travel Ecuador and Peru and spend time on high alititude.
This book only handles a few major citys and a few hostels, poor maps and just ordinary warnings that you should be careful in bus stations and when its dark. Quite useless for me. |
