4.0 out of 5 stars A little quirky but great deal. September 12, 2009
By Scotty
Amazon Verified Purchase
The Lonely Planet travel series is different from many of the other travel series such as Rick Steves, Samantha Brown and so on. Each episode is a little quirky. It seeks to express a feeling more than landmarks. The advantage with their South American box set is you get to see countries that aren't often featured on travels DVDs. If you want all the South American episodes buy this single pack. Much more economical than purchasing single episodes. Enjoy!

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Informative and Entertaining December 21, 2010
Great set of shows. The Rio de Janeiro one is not one to watch with your family, though. Aside from that, they are very interesting and entertaining. They go to places where other travel shows don't go and do adventurous things that other travel shows don't do. I wish that all of them instead of just the Bolivia one would have the option of watching it in Spanish, though.

3.0 out of 5 stars good but distracting October 1, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase
I wanted this for my class and I do use them. The overall visuals and information are good - however, there are some things that keep it from being exactly what I needed. First, the accents and terms used by the guides can be hard for my students to get past. They are distracting. Second, a teacher has to be careful to view ahead of time to edit - one on Argentina is great and then she shows a cow being butchered - guts flowing, etc. I know they are famous for their meat, but we didn't need that. Or another who takes us to the market and then throws in 'papaya is good for love making'. The market was great - that was stupid to add.
