Product Description
Completely updated every year (unlike most of the competition), Frommer's Mexico features gorgeous full-color photos of the white-sand beaches, mysterious ruins, and colorful market towns that await you. Our authors have lived in and written about Mexico for years, so they're able to provide valuable insights and advice. They'll steer you away from the touristy and the inauthentic, and show you the real heart of Mexico. Let them take you to exciting cities, charming colonial towns, lovely beach resorts, ancient ruins, traditional Maya villages, and natural wonders, from the Copper Canyon to the whale migration off Baja.

You'll travel Mexico like a pro with our candid advice and handy Spanish-language glossary. Also included are accurate regional and town maps (including site plans of the major ruins), up-to-date advice on finding the best package deals, and an online directory that makes trip-planning a snap!

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't confuse Frommer's with Fodor's, July 22, 2002
By A Customer
The reviewer Mr. Gonzalez has mistaken Frommer's for Fodor's. The Rand McNally map that he does not like appears in Fodor's Mexico. Ditto the wrong information about Trotsky. The Frommer's Mexico book has a completely up-to-date fold-out sheet map, as well as more than 60 maps throughout the book. I find these Mexico authors to be a clear voice of authority, and the book is well-written and full of humor. Great for beach destinations as well as more off-the-beaten track locales. I'm a Frommer's convert!

2.0 out of 5 stars Ahem....There *IS* a Northern Part to This Country, April 29, 2003
By Tio Gringo (Deep in the heart of Texas) - See all my reviews
Purports to be a comprehensive guide, but conveniently overlooks everything in the northern tier, including the entire states of Tamaulipas, Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, Sonora, and Durango. Can you imagine a U.S. travel guide that just "forgets to mention" whole regions like the southwest, or New England, or the east coast? You'd probably think such a guide was [bad]-- and that's pretty much how I view the Frommer's guide. Leaving out Monterrey (the third largest city in the country) is inexcusible given the huge range of attractions, hotels, and events that go on in that part of the country. To further overlook the whole border region, the northern Gulf coast, and the desert cities like Hermosillo is just plain ridiculous. If all you want is an overview of the beach resorts and Mexico City, and similar places that have already been covered by everyone else, then this guide will do in a pinch. If you want true comprehensive travel info and true insight to the country as a whole, look elsewhere.

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of Money, July 7, 2003
By JS "slaglejr" (United States) - See all my reviews
This will be our last Frommer's. Left out info on some of the best markets in Mexico; Leon, Aguascalientes, others; and nothing on Monterrey. We found many inaccuracies as regards directions and locations given by authors. Some maps were in accurate and info was outdated on many of the cities we visited north of Mexico City. Had the same problems a few years back with Frommer's European guides. Don't waste your money like we did. Our last Frommer's!
