Customer Reviews

outdated
We used the chapters on Cusco and Sacred Valley-Machu Picchu on our last trip to Peru and we found many outdated information and incorrect addresses. I understand there's the 2008 edition is out so buy the new one instead or consider another publisher. Friends of ours had the Fodor one and liked it a lot.

Frommer's Peru
It was great, very informative. I love the Frommer's travel guides, I buy one for every trip I take.

Very Informative
I thought that Frommer's Peru was very helpful and quite accurate with the exeption of one restaurant in Cusco, Greens, which had moved and become vegitarian. It's descriptions and opinions were enlightning, if not at points overcautious. I would have liked more on Lima. The bood discouraged travelers from going there, but I thought it was very nice in Miraflores. Highly recommended for anyone considering going to Peru.
