It is the age of specialization, which is a good thing if you're traveling to Pacific Mexico. Let's say you're heading off to Mazatlán or Guadalajara, Oaxaca or Acapulco, you no longer need to lug along every detail on every town, city, and hotel in Mexico. Just the pertinent particulars will do, and that's what Bruce Whipperman delivers in his Lowell Thomas Award-winning Pacific Mexico Handbook.

Stretching over 1,000 miles along the Pacific coast from Mazatlán in Sinaloa down to Bahias de Huatulco in Oaxaca, the choices of tropical, palm-lined lagoons and soft sandy beaches seem without end yet easily accessible, thanks to Mexico's Highway 200 on the Pacific coast and a plethora of airplane access. Yet not each beach resort town is the same in character and opportunities. One of the great services rendered by Whipperman's handbook, before you ever set foot on Mexican soil, is the concise yet evocative description of the distinguishing personalities of the many towns and cities along the water. Especially useful if you're venturing south for the first time, Whipperman's introductions help you plan your itinerary to suit your mood and style. Of course he backs his narrative up with all the facts one might need, the hotels and restaurants, means of transportation and nightlife, shopping, sports, sights, and beaches. But he fleshes these guidebook details out with his sensitive and scholarly attention to the people, history and culture, the land and sea, the vegetation and the animals to be seen and experienced. All the options are spelled out, from the hedonistic immersion in resort relaxation to a glossary of helpful Spanish if you choose to explore further afield. --Stephanie Gold

info not up to date, not helpful for bus travel 5. Mai 1999

Von Ein Kunde

Format:Taschenbuch

I took this book on a recent trip to Oaxaca and was very disappointed. The author assumes that readers who wish to venture out of the city will rent a car or hire a driver, and accordingly, provides very little information about bus travel. The limited information provided (ie, you can take a bus to Monte Alban from the Asbastos terminal) was out of date and no longer valid.

The book contained useful maps. However, equally useful maps are available at no cost from the toursit information office, which, by the way, is longer at the location indicated in the book.

As complete as there is! 17. Februar 2000

Von "shlaes"

Format:Taschenbuch

We've been going to PV and points south for years. I've been amused looking in Mexico tourist guides for their laughable coverage (if there is any) of Playa Careyes, Tomatlan, El Tuito. Usually, there's nothing. This book covers it all! Granted, there are many restaurants and shops in PV that aren't included, but PV is easy to figure out. It's once you get on the highway that you need the book.

Enjoy.

Among many others, this was the most comprehensive of all! 19. Mai 1999

Von Ein Kunde

Format:Taschenbuch

We have traveled repeatedly to Mexico since 1988. We have investigated numerous travel guides during that time. Discovering this book ended our search for a guide that was comprehensive, detailed, up to date, and not rephrased advice covered by all the other guides. Time after time the advice in this book has guided us to unforgettable excursions both on and off the beaten path.
