Now that we are traveling with a kid, we don’t really need the nightlife part of this book, and there are no entries on traveling with children – but this travel guide is quite detailed for all the things we’d need to plan a trip to Central America.
It includes itineraries, basics (getting there, getting around, etc.), a culture guide, health and travel essentials, country guides, and language guides.
As always with Rough Guides Budget travel books, there are a wide array of budget options, each one laid out in great detail. You never feel like you’ll walk into a dive, with this guide. For instance, the Hotel Silani in Guatemala’s description: “Turn right off the dock and walk till the end of the path. Tranquil setting with superb lakeside views and a lovely little treehouse to stay in, as well as some more traditional doubles.” – who can resist THAT?
Or, try Patty’s Bistro, in Belize: “A brightly decorated, small place that draws both locals and tourists. Great Belizean , Mexican and American fare – cheeseburgers to fish soups.” – anything with locals has to be good – what a great recommendation!
This book is an incredible find, and a great resource for any traveler, but especially those that would like to stretch their money to travel more. –WanderingEducators.com:
