Summary: Reliable travel info, though off on prices.
Comment: I traveled for two weeks in Peru this past November using the LP guide. The transportation, restaurant, and hostel info were all great- I actually ended up staying at the "Editor's Picks" accommodations on two different occasions and was really pleased- but you will find that the actual prices are about 20-30% higher than listed in the guide. Aside from that, the guide is informative and well organized. Would definitely recommend it to anyone traveling that way.

Summary: A decent travel guide for the economy traveler
Comment: I use the Lonely Planet travel guides all of the time. They are of great help in trip planning. I am a budget traveler normally, being more interested in seeing the local sights and local aves than in staying at 5 star hotels. This travel guide fills that purpose explicitly. My one critique is that smaller towns are not very well covered if at all. The guide does provide very useful information on bus connections and where the bus stations are located. The maps are not always completely accurate and the locations specified for restaurants and hotels are not always exactly where they should be, but for the volume of information that is covered they due a more than sufficient job. The book is very good about providing internet addresses to various Peru links.

Summary: so wrong about cusco
Comment: my wife and i spent 4 days in cusco and could not find a single restaurant that lonely planet recommended. my wife is fluent in spanish and we spoke with locals and touristico police and NOBODY had even heard of the restaurants. very frustrating.
and cusco sucks, don't waste time there. arequipa is a million times better.

Summary: Great guide for Peru
Comment: I bought this book for my daughter. She is in Peru, and brought the book with her to use as a guide for everything. I read it first, and it was a great book, it tells you just about everything you need to know, and bring when you travel to Peru. I highly recommend this book,it is one of the best books on Peru!
