From Antarctica to Zimbabwe, if you're going there chances are Lonely Planet has been there first. With a pithy and matter-of-fact writing style, these guides are guaranteed to calm the nerves of first-time world travelers, while still listing off-the-beaten-path finds sure to thrill even the most jaded globetrotters. Lonely Planet has been perfecting its guidebooks for nearly 30 years, and as a result has experience and know-how similar to an older sibling's "been there" advice. The original backpacker's bible, the LP series has recently widened its reach. While still giving insights for the low-budget traveler, the books now list a wide range of accommodations and itineraries for those with less time than money.

With Lonely Planet Bolivia you'll find everything you need to know to explore Incan roads, climb Andean mountains, and eat well when it's fiesta time in the "Tibet of the Americas." Bolivia's diverse terrain ranges from the highest mountains in Latin America to lush jungles and low-lying savannas. Lonely Planet's Bolivia shares how to discover the best of the vibrant cultures that thrive in these diverse regions. The guide also contains updated trekking maps. --Kathryn True

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   2 of 5 people found the following review helpful: Lonely Planet will be with you throughout Bolivia, December 27, 2000 By  Maurizio Giuliano (Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina) - See all my reviews As always, this is a piece of lullage well worth its price and its weight. It contains unparalleled advice on how to get around in this wonderful land, from the heights bordering Peru to the low lands of Cochabamba and Santa Cruz. The advice is clear, well-writte, useful, and entertaining at the same time. Its only problem is that it dates back to 1996, and lots of things have changed since then.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)   2 of 5 people found the following review helpful: Good, reliable information on this wonderful country., September 27, 2000 By  Allan M. Gathercoal "fdoamerica" (Norcross, GA) - See all my reviews       Lonely Planet Travel Handbooks have become a standard of excellence in presenting good, reliable information and advice for the more adventuresome traveler and "Bolivia" is no exception. The section "Facts for Visitors" is the best sources of needed information on the market today. The color photo plates, charts and most maps are superb. Swaney has done a great service to ecology and environment in her section on development in the disappearing Amazon. Sadly, she only gives a cursive mention to ecotourism, an economy that offers hope for the dwindling environment of Bolivia. Recommend  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
