Amazon.co.uk
"Mexico is an experience that offers a multitude of cultures, cuisine, environments, handicrafts, art and history." This vast country covers an area of almost 2 million square km encompassing mountains, plains, deserts and beaches--7 million people of a population of an estimated 93.7 million speak one of 50 indigenous tongues. Much credit then, is due to Lonely Planet who have managed to capture Mexico's diverse offerings in one book. Starting with Mexico City and ending in the Yucatan peninsula, this reliable guide will prove invaluable to the first time traveller as well as adding a great wealth of information to the travel aficionados. In keeping with house style, the book also contains detailed information about the culture and history of the country.
Mexico has such an amazing array of things to see and do that trying to plan a trip can be an overwhelming experience--Lonely Planet's highlights sections are particularly useful here--the trustworthy authors give their pick of coasts, archaeological sites, colonial cities, small towns, nature and museums. Details of sights' opening times and entrance fees are as up-to-date as they can possibly be and readers can check for changes and update accordingly via the Lonely Planet Web site.
Guides to accommodation and restaurants cater for the bulging and slightly more depleted wallets alike with prices going from virtually nothing "up to the sky". On the subject of food, there's a well thought out food section to ensure you don't get your empanadas mixed up with your enchiladas. The maps are excellent and full colour photographs are well used. The Lonely Planet series is of a consistently high standard and Lonely Planet Mexico is no exception--a well-researched, well-written guide that will become one of your most valued possessions.

und wir selbst natürlich auch. Das Buch war uns immer ein treuer Begleiter auf allen Reisen während der 6 Monate und hat uns so gut wie nie im Stich gelassen. Manche Hotels gab es leider nicht mehr, aber von solchen Kleinigkeiten sollte sich ein Mexiko-Reisender nicht aus der Fassung bringen lassen sondern einfach den nächsten Hotel-Tipp ausprobieren. Wir haben jedenfalls immer recht schnell eine günstige Gelegenheit zum Übernachten gefunden. Dank der zahlreichen Karten und Wegbeschreibungen findet man sich in jeder Stadt schnell zurecht (mal abgesehen von Mexico City) und bekommt zu fast jeder Sehenswürdigkeit gleich eine ausführliche Beschreibung mitgeliefert.
Die Busverbindungen und Preise sind zwar nicht mehr aktuell, man kann sich anhand der Informationen aber trotzdem sehr gut orientieren.
Ich werde die neue Ausgabe (September 2002) auf jeden Fall für meinen nächsten längeren Aufenthalt in Mexiko kaufen.

Still One Star after all these years
4. Februar 2002
Format:Taschenbuch
I reviewed this book a while ago and didn't like it one bit. I just got back from three week road trip driving from Mexico City to Huatulco and back. I brought three books with me: a borrowed copy of LP Mexico, my out-dated copy of Joe Cumming's Mexico Handbook (Avalon / Moon), and Bruce Whipperman's Oaxaca Handbook (Avalon / Moon)... The trip reconfirmed what I have always said about LP: they are over-used, under-researched, and too many people rely on them as if to travel without LP is a sacrilege. Some LP titles might be very good, but LP is now a huge multi-million dollar publishing house with hundreds of titles, not all of which are of equal quality. This is not to say that Avolon's huge, 2 inch thick super Mexico handbook is great either. There is too much brevity in the Mexico Country Handbook... too much editing and cutting. For Mexico I have come to the conclusion that you cannot write a 5 star guidebook and try to cover the whole country. There is simply too much to cover in one book. I live in San Diego and so I appreciate the other reviewer's comment that not including Puerto Nuevo and Rosarito in the LP book is a MAJOR oversight. The best book by far was Bruce Whipperman's Oaxaca book: it was incredibly detailed, covered the entire state, and left practically no stone unturned. I have some criticisms of that book as well (see my review), but if you are going to Mexico, unless you plan on covering the entire country, buy Avalon's Moon Handbooks for specific regions (Oaxaca, Pacific Coast, Mexico City, etc). They are much more accurate, newer, and more complete in terms of the number of attractions covered and the details about each one. The only problem is that there are not enough regional titles to cover the entire country. good luck!

You can't go wrong with a Lonely Planet guide
17. Februar 2001
Format:Taschenbuch
I have just returned to Norway after backpacking around in Latin America for a year (of course accompanied by the Lonely Planet book). I do not claim to be an expert, but I do know what I am looking for in a travel guide.
The Mexico guide is a good, complete guide. Filled with information, history and beautiful pictures about almost every corner of this gorgeous country. Reading the whole book gives you a good update on your history and geography knowledge! (Something to do if you are trekking around by bus like I did!)
I have always been satisfied with the LP guides. The information given is good, just what you need to get around. The only negative with this book (and the reason I give it 4 and not 5 stars) is that it was completely outdated on prices etc. Another thing (that goes for most of the travel guides) is that many of the hotels that are listed in the book has gotten so much (too much?) business so that the service is down to a minimum. This we found especially in Isla Mujeres where the price was the double of what the book said, and really lousy customer service, if any.

Great book... but extremely outdated.
3. Februar 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
This is a great book, don't get me wrong.
I've been living in Mexico for over 15 years and I've been using this book in all my travels ever since I got it. The problem is that this edition is from 2000, and things in Mexico change a lot. The prices are all wrong (much, much cheaper than they actually are), the directions on getting to places are outdated (there are over 1000km. of new highways and the conditions change drastically from season to season), the hours are not always right (museums, archeological sites, churches, etc.).

This book used to be a great source for the budget traveler as well as the a-little-more-money one, unfortunaltely it has not been updated in a long time. Now I use it only as a reference on interesting places and things to do wherever I may be going. If you're interested in getting "off the beaten track" this book has little to offer, it's main focus is on the "touristy" Mexico.
Lonely Planet makes great books, they just should keep them updated more frequently. Hope this helps.
