Venezuela Lonely Planet
Guide book for South America?
Hi,
I am backpacking through South America in December and January. I’m looking for a guidebook that covers Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela and Uruguay. I wont have enough space to take 4 books, so I’ll need a good all in one. In my opinion, the lonely planet range is always out of date. However, the budget hostels information and reviews is very valuable. I want something that mentions the festivals and night clubs just as much as it mentions the sightseeing attractions.
I recently read a review on the footprint South America book. The reviewer stated that it was a fantastic book because it didnt assume that she was a 20 year old on her gap year. Basically, I want a book that DOES assume that I am a 20 year old on my gap year.
Are there any books you’d recommend?
Thanks
Why even take a book ?
They are often 600 pages or more and if you are like me you will only need the information from 150 of the pages at best.
I have traveled extensively in Mexico,Central and South America for many years.During that time I have used several guides and they each have pluses and minuses.I like Footprint,Moon,Lonley Planet, and Let’s Go the best.
I usually just go to a library for a day or two prior to my trip and do as much research as possible from as many sources as possible on the places I intend to go I take copious notes and use the copier to print maps from ‘all’ the travel guides as well as other books related to my destinations.Then I transfer all that information to one of those one subject lined sprial notebooks (70-100 pages) and take that with me instead of a book.It is”much” lighter and will open flat on a table and you usually end up with plenty of left over pages to take notes along the way.They are sometime on sale for as little as 10 cents.I don’t need all the information in a guide book and by using more than one book as my source I have a lot more information about just the specific places I am interested in.
This may not be a solution for everyone but it has worked out well for me for several years now and I will never buy or carry another guidebook with me ever again.
Have a great trip!
