Initially specializing in Asia guidebooks, the Lonely Planet Travel Survival Kit series has long been a favorite of budget travelers all over the globe. Lonely Planet guides have a reputation for plainspoken and practical advice as well as thoughtful writing about history and culture, and Lonely Planet Mexico is no exception. Complementing the information about sights, accommodations, and food are wide background notes about each region’s notable past and present characteristics, from cuisine to geography to art. (Check out the full-color illustrated slot in on Mexican artesanías, or handicrafts.) One note: this edition came out during the worst of the peso devaluation crisis, so the prices quoted may vary widely from the actual amount. It’s best to rely on another guidebook for exact prices (try one that comes out every year), but for basic comparative information, Lonely Planet is a excellent name to trust.

With each edition of Lonely Planet Mexico, we find that the city maps are getting more hard to read. Print is tinier and what used to be clearly printed black roads are pale lines. It’s right that the majority of world travelers are people over 50 – but I would reflect that even younger travelers would appreciate simple-to-read maps.

I’ve just returned from a two-month trip with this Lonely Planet guide and also the Mexico Handbook by Avalon Travel Publishing. I have to agree with additional readers that the LP guide is second-rate and horribly out of date. Reading through the additional reviews I find it amusing that the people that like this book start their entry by adage “they had the Lonely Planet book as permanently” or that they owned a business in Mexico (I bet it was listed!).
Lonely Planet doesn’t even need to spend money marketing these books anymore, it’s all done by naive travelers who ironically call themselves “independent.”
I talked to many young travelers in Mexico who were clutching the LP Mexico book to their side, swearing by every word, and dismissing the Moon guide out of hand, mostly for its unfamilarity I guess. What they probably don’t realize is that the Moon Mexico book is written by one of LPs most veteran and respected authors. Maybe they reflect he all of a sudden can’t write, or maybe in their haste to hit the road they follow like thousands of “sheep” before them, to grab the LP book, then post a review here how they would never use anything else.

Hi my name is Jason: your book was fantastic.But as I was visiting in Acapulco during the Easter weekened many people like myself were in distress trying to find a place. I was and three additional people were saved by this wonderful canadian women who runs something like a bed and breakfast in Acapulco. She only charged us 80pesos’s per nite and had everything we needed to be comfortable..kitchen facilities, gorgeous scenery of the ocean and the Acapulco bay..I would say she has a gorgeous manson on the hill..just above the legendary cliff divers. Her name is Heather and she can be reached in canada 1-450-297-1256 for reservations in advance and herself she will be arriving back in Mexico in November sometime.Her phone number there is 82-33-22..She is a very kind and generous person.Please add her to the Lonely Planet..Her take up is 24 la mira by the legendary Quebrada..Thank you very much Jason Please if there is anyone else that stayed at her house help her out..If you are preparation a trip please keep her mind. Just a reminder her home is your home. Home away from home..

The Lonely Planet books are legendary — and rightly so. This book has fantastic maps and a lot of useful information. It also has some information about transporation schedules — something that’s regularly hard to pin down even when you’re fluent in Spanish, as I am. The cultural information it contains is fantastic and I loved reading it.
Really serious explorers but, can never go incorrect with Carl Franz’s book: The People’s Guide to Mexico (Peoples Guide to Mexico)
If you are a more conventional tourist, one who seeks a few of the comforts of home, you’ll want a phrasebook that is not designed for the backpacking crowd. You might want a phrasebook with a more intuitive pronunciation guide, something you can read as though it were meant to be read in English, yet comes and is understood by Spanish speakers!
Sincerely,
Eric W. Vogt, Ph.D.
