Customer Reviews

VERY useful book!
I just got back from sailing down the pacific coast of baja cal. and this book was worth every penny. while this book was not written for sailing the information it had on small coastal villages was accurate and up to date. the historical sidebars were also quite interesting. Great Job!

Not a Comprehensive Book
I was very disappointed in this book. I bought it soley for San Jose Del Cabo & Cabo San Lucas information, & a lot of restaurants & even resorts were missing. I found the sections on those two areas lacking in historial, cultural, sightseeing, restaurants, hotels and just about all "areas" of information. I would not recommend it if you want information on the two areas I mentioned above.

A great guide
A trip to the Cabos usually does not involve a great deal of land travel as the Baja peninsula is long. But casual tourist and serious visitors alike can learn from this compact guide book. It is the best of the travel books dedicated to Baja that I have seen.
