Great book for travelers planning their first trip to the region.,
I bought this book when I first began planning my trip to Latin America. I hadn’t ever been to the region and wanted to know as much about it as possible. When I bought the book, my prior travels included the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, and I knew that Latin America would be a bit different! It’s a great book for travelers planning a first trip to Central or South America, and also a great guide for first-time travelers in general. I think people of any age would find this book helpful, too–it’s information that any traveler will find useful.
There is a chapter on each country in the region with highlights to consider visiting, plus practical information on what to take, how to get around, routes to consider, visas, health, safety, and lots more. It’s not a book you will probably take with you when you leave, but one you’ll want to read in the beginning or mid-stages of planning your adventure. It’ll answer a lot of your questions and concerns and help you have a better idea of what to expect.
I’m definitely glad I bought and read this book as it prepared me well for my three month adventure in Central America and addressed many of my concerns and questions. Recommended for everyone considering or planning a trip to Latin America.

|Buy this first!,
A great book to start with. We bought First-Time Asia before we took off to Asia for 6 months and it was extremely useful to help with all the planning and decide where we wanted to go. This time we know we want to go to Latin America but have no idea how south we will go or what so this book is great for the rampant changing of minds that occurs while we plan trips bc the information is so broad and covers everything. But it’s just the basics. You will need a guide for each country you go to to take with you (we usually buy them used and trade them in when we arrive). Leave this one at home.

|Interesting,
A good introduction on Latin America, it helps you decide which country you could like for your next vacation. It’s pretty well organized, and gives some advice on what to do/when to go, what is ok doing and what is not if you don’t want to be in trouble.
I bought another guide, more specific, when I picked my destination.
