About the Author

Michael Luongo has written on Argentina for the New York Times, National Geographic Traveler, Bloomberg News, Out Traveler, and many other publications. He is also the author of Frommer’s Buenos Aires. His debut novel, The Voyeur, was published by Alyson Books in 2007, and he has several other travel books. He has visited more than 80 countries and all seven continents, but few places have stolen his heart like Argentina. Highlights of his travels there include riding Juan Perón’s coffin through the streets of Buenos Aires during his 2006 reburial and wearing Evita’s perfume to a dinner party. Visit him at www.michaelluongo.com and www.misterbuenosaires.com.

Charlie O’Malley is an Irishman who lives and works in Mendoza, Argentina. He has worked on several Frommer’s guidebooks for countries all over South America and Central America. He edits his own magazine in Argentina called Wine Republic.

Christie Pashby is the author of Frommer´s Banff & Jasper National Parks and co-author of Frommer’s Chile and Frommer’s Best Hikes in British Columbia. Since falling for an Argentine mountain guide while whitewater kayaking in Costa Rica, Christie has divided her time between the Canadian Rockies and Bariloche, Argentina. A freelance journalist and translator, she also somehow finds the time to run a small guiding business with her husband and cram in two ski seasons a year. Her websites include www.patagoniatravelco.com and www.patagonialiving.com.

4.0 out of 5 stars Helpful Guide, November 1, 2007
We used this guide primarily for Mendoza and for Buenos Aires, and I found it very helpful. There were a lot of useful tidbits on local culture and customs (such as the water bottle shrines along the highway), and the reviews of places to stay and dine and explore were up to date and relevant. My only complaint was that the number of restaurants reviewed in Buenos Aires was quite limited...I would have preferred to have had more establishments reviewed there. I understand the problem...there are SO MANY restuarants there! But, it would be nice to have more of them reviewed...sometimes we heard from others about possible places to eat, but could find no review. Other than that, however, the book was great.

2.0 out of 5 stars A disappointment, December 7, 2008
By 
M. L Russell (Ipswich, MA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have great respect for much of Frommer's work but this book was a disappointment. I had found a terrific place to stay through the internet and was looking for more information about the city, its history, and the culture. I find that once restaurants have made the guide books, they often fail to live up to the hype. Consulting "local knowledge" seems to be the best way to find restaurants and entertainment. Even the maps were sometimes misleading.

Sorry I can't suggest another guide. I'm a big fan of the Eyewitness Guides but there doesn't seem to be one for Buenos Aires.

5.0 out of 5 stars classic frommer guide, November 4, 2007
I sure like this edition overall, though it had some shortcomings for my specific trip's purposes. Classic Frommers style -- concise, tight, useful info. Good complement to my other guides -- TimeOut Buenos Aires, Footprint and Fodors. Some key items about towns and lodging in Mendoza region I only found in Frommers. But, was weak on info for NW-Salta-JuyJuy region as compared to the others.
