cover Peru Handbook

Alan Murphy
2nd edition, Jul 1999
Footprint Handbooks

Undoubtely, the best travel guide about Peru we have in these days. Concisely written and well explained, it also has good maps and small excerpts about peruvian facts on culture and history. This guide has an updated basis and includes new places for those who prefer to be off the "gringo" road.

cover Lonely Planet Peru

Rob Rachowiecki
4th edition, Apr 2000

Maybe this is the guidebook that travellers have been waiting for a long time. Unfortunately, its last edition was out of date (being Peru so changeable) and Lonely Planet decided to give us their newest version after 4 years.

The most interesting trekking route in South America found at last an interesting informative partner.

cover Exploring Cusco

Peter Frost
5th Edition, 1999
Nuevas Imágenes S.A.

Travellers who have been to Cuzco know that 4 days are not enough to discover this great city... and "Exploring Cusco" is maybe the best tool to travel with. Essential for the backpacker and the spoiled tourist at the same time. Excellent info on Cusco city, the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu and other less known spots.

cover Lonely Planet Quechua Phrasebook

Ronald Wright
Jan 1990
Lonely Planet

A helpful handbook if you are intending to learn the Inca's language. It is not a "language school" by itself but speaking some words and phrases can be really a troubleshooting if you are travelling in remote andean areas.

cover Lonely Planet Spanish Phrasebook

Sally Steward (Editor)
3rd edition, Mar 1998
Lonely Planet

The printed "competitor" of our small, costumized, humble and plain Peruvian Spanish phrasepage. It comes with some descriptions of the different meanings for a word used in several Spanish-speaking Latin American countries. Situations and travel-related topics... ¿donde está el baño?
