5.0 out of 5 stars Great overview
For someone trying to get a general overview of a part of the world they did not pay to much attention to and are now fascinated with, this book is perfect. Lots of beautiful imagery and helpful hints on what to watch out for and do when traveling.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for the general, bad for the specific
If you're looking for general information (with pictures!) about the countries, this is a great place to start. Beyond that, this probably won't be of too much help.

This review is from: Insight Guide South America (Paperback)
Doing research for a trip involves both the facts and the visual stimulation of anticipated sights to see. The Insight Guide to South America provides that visual stimulation and beautifully descriptive words of the highlights of South America. When coupled with the Footprint Travel Guide for South America, it is a winning combination of practical information and adrenalin generating visual imagery.
