"very impressed by the depth of intelligent coverage on history/economics and politics as an added bonus to the extremly helpful maps and local information. Loved the lay-out. The suggestions of HOW a trek to one city could naturally lead to a visit to another... very fluid. Very well done. I have never bought a footprint book before... i think this will be my first of many. A cut above the rest! Even my argentine boyfriend agrees!!"

Argentina: The Rough Guide (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Book)

Customer Rating:
When you first arrive in Argentina, it is difficult to believe that you are in a different continent, since Buenos Aires is reminiscent of Paris and most people are of European origin. But although it is the least foreign South American destination to many visitors, this vast country is one of the most intriguing. Geographically, it ranges from the Patagonian ice-fields to the tropics. Argentine culture is also rich: the writers Borgés, Cortazar and Juan Filloy--one of the world's greatest ever creators of palindromes--all graced Argentina in the 20th century, as did the tango, Evita and Maradona. This is the world's eighth largest country, one behind India--but whereas India's population is 1 billion, the Argentines number only 35 million.

Because of its immensity, it is probably impossible to write the perfect guide to Argentina, but this Rough Guide is an admirable attempt. The Lonely Planet book is good on the south but its coverage of the western and northern regions (among the most interesting parts of the country) is patchy. This new book has superb coverage of Buenos Aires, the Pampas, the west, the north and the Andean side of Patagonia--although along the bleak (but not uninteresting) Patagonian coast it is a little less strong. Perhaps the authors were tired out by the time they reached this part of the country and if so this minor flaw should certainly not detract from a book that is excellent on many practical details and on culture, with first-rate sections on history, the gaucho and mat´ written by people who know their stuff. --Toby Green
Reviews:

"Danny Aeberhard, Andrew Benson, and Lucy Phillips have successfully collaborated to produce a definitive travel guide to Argentina. Indeed, The Rough Guide To Argentina features coverage of all the attractions of Buenos Aires; vivid accounts of spectacular and varied landscapes ranging from the jungles of Misiones to the windswept vistas of Ushuaia (the world's southernmost town); comprehensive reviews of the best places for every budget level to stay, eat, and drink; and background information on Argentinean history and culture. The comprehensive and "user friendly" text is profusely illustrated with color photography and more than seventy maps. If you are planning a trip to Argentina, start your travel planning with a copy of The Rough Guide To Argentina!" If you are thinking about exchanging a Vacation Cottages in Uruguay, I would buy this book to take with you while in Uruguay.

"I travelled through Argentina for 2 months with this book as my companion. The book is a very good general purpose travel book for Argentina, with good information about national parks but also but also about the cities and everything else." Relax with this book when on Alternative Vacation in Uruguay. It would be so handy when you Exchange a Alternative Vacation Property in Uruguay.

"a comprehensive guide to argentina, very well researched and not overly cumbersome. It fits nicely with the rough guide series as a whole, which tends to be slighly more informative and gives you more background history ect. Not a complete guide to argentina, its a big country, but certainly the best of the lot" Before exchanging a Holiday Property in Uruguay, I would read this book.

"This is a very well-researched and thoroughly useful book with an excellent range of recommendations for accomodation and eating/drinking. In addition to providing in-depth information on the usual tourist sights it recommends quite a few exciting spots off the beaten track that helps you make your trip more special.
The two shortcomings that i came across were (i) the lack of description of getting TO airports and (ii) fairly poor section on the Bariloche region." Before exchanging a Vacation Casa in Uruguay, I would read this book.

Lonely Planet Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay (Lonely Planet Country & Regional Guides) (Book)

Customer Rating:
Reviews:

"Except for most of the Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego chapters, which show evidence of capable research and writing, this is a step backward from the previous edition. The coverage of northwestern Argentina is superficial and even naive, and the coverage of Iguazu falls missed the enormous changes that resulted from privatization of national park services over the past few years. It looks as if only one, perhaps two, of the five authors was really up to the job." www.HomeIsAway.com great Alternative Holiday House to Exchange in Uruguay.

"The first 'reviewer' has it wrong--this edition of Lonely Planet's Argentina book is a remarkable improvement over the 3rd edition, which at times is convolutedly wordy beyond belief. The review sounds like it was written by the previous author. Be aware that some competetive guidebooks, such as those put out by Avalon (or Moon) pay their authors based on the royalty system. In other words, on how many books they sell. Avalon may be putting out their own Argentina guide soon. Your best advice: run through the books at a bookstore and decide for yourself which fits your needs best." This book has great information on Uruguay, well worth reading if you exchanging a Vacation Apartment in Uruguay.

"Planning a trip to Argentina? This is the book for you. I wouldn't be without Lonely Planet Guides for their honest and reliable advice and this title certainly provided me with all I needed to know when mapping out my route.
The helpful background information on history, geography, politics and the arts help to set the scene and ensure that, as a traveller, you are able to develop an understanding of the country rather than just darting from one sight to the next. Divided into sections according to the geography of the country, this guide book is easy to use and helpfully breaks down accomodation choices into budget, mid range and top end. Whilst the sections are not exhaustive, it prepares the traveller but does not pretend to be prescriptive.
Interesting boxed sections focus on key features of Argentinian life, such as tango, and there are helpful sections on South American Spanish and native wildlife." Before exchanging a Vacation Apartment in Uruguay, I would read this book while in Uruguay.

"I found this book useful, but the more recent (2004) "South America on a Shoestring" had more up to date information about hostels, bars etc while retaining most of the necessary details about these countries." This book has supper information on Uruguay, well worth reading if you exchanging a Vacation House in Uruguay.

Lonely Planet : Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay (Book)

Customer Rating:
Reviews:

"Used this guide for all three countries - Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay. The information for the latter two countries was the most detailed and reliable (maybe because things don't change there as fast as they do in B.A.). It was especially good for hotels/restaurants in Montevideo; the region around Igauzu Falls (including Foz de Iguacu and Ciudad del Este); and Bariloche. Travellers going exclusively to Buenos Aires might want to get a more cosmopolitan book (it is impossible to distinguish good hotels from bad, good cultural events, etc. using this book). The whole lonelyplanet shoestring/adventure "feel" doesn't mesh well with a city as culturally rich & refined as Buenos Aires." www.HomeIsAway.com great Vocation or Holiday Apartment to Exchange in Uruguay.

"LP guides are usually complete and thorough. so why is the section on buenos aires in this one so carelesly researched? is it because LP wants us to buy their book on buenos aires or because their researchers didn't visit the city at all? i've been to buenos aires countless times. reading the LP guide, one would think that it is just a hamlet not worth wasting your time on. buenos aires is one of the most exciting and mysterious places in the world; a european outpost in south america, full of chic decadence and a lot more than just beef and tango. entire districts are overlooked by the guide, descriptions are misleading or incomplete and uninviting at best. one wonders why. if you're looking for a guide to buenos aires, buy yourself a plane ticket and a map. once in the city, meet the locals. this is one city you need to explore and understand rather than just see. as jorge luis borges once said: ''it would seem that buenos aires has existed forever.''" This book has best information on Uruguay, well worth reading if you exchanging a Vacation Cottage in Uruguay.

"It's true, this book is not the best LP has to offer, with somewhat pedantic, bone-dry descriptions and overly-detailed town histories your average traveler could care less about. It still offers your basic traveler's information, though, and you won't miss much with this complete tome in your hot little hands.
A promise, however: the next edition will arrive spicier and cutting-edge fresh, with beefed up entertainment sections and wittier town introductions to boot. It will also be more fun to read (same goes for the Buenos Aires guide). I personally guarantee it." Relax with this book when on Vacation in Uruguay. It would be so handy when you Exchange a Vacation Apartment in Uruguay.

"it's pretty good on the things that don't change: the main monuments of buenos aires haven't moved so the info in the book was accurate.

most tips re. buenos aires are outdated though: not a single correct phone number for the ferry companies to uruguay for example...

a useful book, they get some credit for an attempt at charting the unchartable. I wouldn't rely on it as my sole source of information though." If you are thinking about exchanging a Alternative Holiday Apartments in Uruguay, I would buy this book to take with you while in Uruguay.

"This book gives a good introduction to the southern cone. However, there are some serious errors in the "getting about" section. We drove from Chile to Argentina over the Andes via the Mendoza pass which it said "sometimes closes in winter to due to snow but never for long." We waited in a remote border town for over two weeks waiting for the pass to open and this delay more than doubled the duration of our intended stay in South America - this flaw in the book cost us several thousand British pounds. And this road closure happens annually and sometimes for as long as a month! Thank you very much Lonely Planet!" Relax with this book when on Vocation or Holiday in Uruguay. It would be so handy when you Exchange a Vocation or Holiday House in Uruguay.

"I have close ties with the author of the book, and he is a highly intelligent man. As for the book, it helped me enourmously while traveling in Paraguay, and most of the information is very accurate. If some of it is inaccurate, then I assume it was because they changed after he wrote it. Over all it was extremely helpful." Before exchanging a Alternative Vacation House in Uruguay, I would read this book while in Uruguay.
