Lonely Planet Baja California 5/E

Product arrived in a timely matter and in the condition as described. Would buy from them again.

A trip to the Cabos usually does not involve a great deal of land travel as the Baja peninsula is long. But casual tourist and serious visitors alike can learn from this compact guide book. It is the best of the travel books dedicated to Baja that I have seen.

the moon book is like reading a code many times, difficult to obtain the info you desire. the costs of rooms and cafes are in layers, $ $$ $$$ or over $25, $25-50 etc, and you never really know if it costs $25 or $50, same with meals, and it has no easy to find color map, requiring one to search thru the different sections to find a black & white map covering a large area, and then you have to try and find the area of interest. the lonely planet is about 1/3 as thick, has prices for room and meals in every range, and specific dollar amounts. somehow it was able to jam enormous user needed info into a small space and leave out much of the vague data in the moon book. Easy to carry and a real joy to look thru.

Lonely Planet's Baja book is an excellent guide to the peninsula. I especially appreciated the detailed info on how to get around in Baja. The section on health in the front of the book came in handy after a small altercation with a manta ray! It was excellent for travelers on a budget. The descriptions of cities, places to stay and restaurants were all very accurate, but left enough room for our personal tastes to guide us to the spots that seemed especially fitting.I felt as though once we arrived at our final destination there was a lot more there than was really covered in the book, but I guess they only have so many pages to work with! This was the only book we brought with us, and it made for a great trip!

I'm just back from a two week travel in the beautiful BAJA and I have to say that this Lonely Planet guide book is excellent. The good thing about this book is the really good maps of a lot of town. With this book I was able to saw everything i wanted. I really recommand this book to someone who is planning to go on bus, its got all the precise information about bus schedule, bus terminal, etc...... A real good guide !!!!!
