The Rough Guide to Peru 7 (Rough Guide Travel Guides) Review
I’m surprised by the negative reviews of this book.
While staying in a great hostel (that did happen to be recommended in this book)two of my roommates traveling together begged me to let them keep my Rough Guide To Peru 6. They were carrying Lonely Planet.
Also, while traveling with friends whom I had met carrying different Peru guides (LP included) I always was curious to read how various guides wrote-up a Peru site that I had visited already. With limited exceptions, I felt the Rough Guide to be superior. (I never ran across anyone with a Moon guide and I used them in Costa Rica and was very impressed).
To address some of the negative reviews – I do agree that some things are out-of-date. For example in Arequipa a highly recommended vegetarian restaurant had closed down months earlier. But this happens, no guide book can be perfect; there’s always a time lag.
And about hostels – I heard anecdotes from LP toting travelers that they kept running into the same travelers city after city because they simply go to the hostels LP recommends. That’s fine, but I’d start to feel like I’m on a package tour. Only as a last resort do I rely on guide book recommendations for accommodation. The internet, as we all know, is by far a better resource for this.
