4.0 out of 5 stars
Decent for major tourist hubs, September 3, 2004
This review is from: Fodor's Brazil, 3rd Edition (Fodor's Gold Guides) (Paperback)
THIS IS A REVIEW FOR THE 2004 EDITION. THE OTHER REVIEWS HERE ARE FOR AN OLDER EDITION. I used this book for a trip in November 2004. The Fodor's guide was good for the major places I traveled to (Salvador, Belo Horizonte, Rio), but didn't cover the more obscure places in the south of Bahia or even some places close to Salvador. However, it was really nice to have this book to compliment (save me from using) the crappy Lonely Planet book all the time. At least I got a second opinion! The Rio coverage is pretty good and this was the most up-to-date book I used. Apart from the LP city guide to Rio. The Fodor's menu guide in the back of the book really came in handy. Ultimately, none of the guides to Brazil seem superb, so I recommend taking at least two and plenty of grains of salt.
