Check details pertinent to your own trip.

An up-to-date guidebook is essential. It will save you time & money. We found it difficult to purchase & trade guidebooks in South America — better to pick-up yours in advance for planning.

We like Lonely Planet & Footprint guides best. E-mail if you have other recommendations.
