Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
Most travel guides to the general reason lump Nicaragua with other countries and generally say very little about Nicaragua alone: this provides almost three hundred pages packed with practical travel advice. Details on accommodations, outdoors activities, transportation, and all the other practicalities of independent travel within the country make for a practical travel planner. -- Midwest Book Review
From the Publisher

Don't waste your time with this one,
By A Customer
This review is from: Nicaragua Guide: Spectacular and Unspoiled (Paperback)
As an anthropologist working in Nicaragua, I found this book not only inaccurate in many regards, but offensive. To portray Nicaragua as a country "untouched" by change in which "time stood still" is ridiculous, especially given Nicaragua's political history and its contemporary linkages to structures of global finance such as the IMF and World Bank. If you want to visit Nicaragua, there are scores of books that offer a far superior understanding of Nicaraguan history and culture and Lonely Planet gives far more practical info for travelers in their Central America guide.

Fine as a suppliment -- but unexpectedly lacking.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Nicaragua Guide: Spectacular and Unspoiled (Paperback)
Sorry to say, but living in Nicaragua convinces me that this book is fine as a suppliment, but don't rely upon it as your main guide. I feel Mr. Glassman has missed the mark and his opportunity. Its a good effort for a non-major travel guide, but I always had to refer back to Lonely Planet and the rough guide for reassurance.

A very non-specific book.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Nicaragua Guide: Spectacular and Unspoiled (Paperback)
I used this book to travel through Nicaragua and found the information provided, or lack there of, to be very dissapointing. The book is full of useless chatter while giving no specifics such as phone numbers, exact directions, or prices. Save your money and buy the lonely planet book.
