 The most current and best guide available. September 16, 2007
Allan M. Gathercoal (Norcross, GA)
15 out of 16 found this review helpful
I come to Bolivia twice a year and over the past three years I have reviewed more than a dozen guides on Bolivia and this is the best guide available.
Lonely Planet guides are known for their no-nonsense, off-the-beaten-path advise. The descriptions of the towns and cities are top rate. Each area has its history and climate explained. This is one of the few guides that will give you the population and altitude of major cities and towns. Kudos!
The "must see" places are listed and explained. Trekking routes are explained and mapped! There are excellent descriptions of the seven geographical areas of Bolivia (Southern Altiplano, Central Highlands, Eastern Lowlands, Amazon Basin, etc.). The section on health is "top drawer" and needs to be read before traveling here. Sidebars, or text boxes, are found throughout the book and provide you with wonderful sources of miscellaneous information, i.e., "Bolivar - El Liberatador," "Traditional Andean Musical Instruments," etc., .
There are two other books that can enhance your time in Bolivia. The first is, William Powers' excellent and powerful account of living in Bolivia, "Whispering in the Giant's Ear" and Herbert Klien's, "A Concise Short History of Bolivia". In short, this is the most current(as of Sept. 2007) and best guide out. Strongly Recommended.

A great overview of the country and certainly an essential companion to any trip to this underrated country. Food and festival entries are particularly good and help in any trip planning. Always impressed with the quality of LP publications and the recommendations were good.
A take-long 'must' for any Bolivia traveler! July 19, 2010
Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
Color highlights in each chapter and a green index identifying sustainable options accompanies a fine adventure-oriented guide for independent travelers to Bolivia. This seventh edition provides the latest advice from travel experts and is fully updated to provide the latest information on activities, regions, top itineraries, and more. A take-long 'must' for any Bolivia traveler!
The Essential Guide to Bolivia November 1, 2007

I have used a ton of different guidebooks in my travels, but I always come back to Lonely Planet. That is the one I always have packed with me when I go.
This is the essential guidebook for all who are travelling to Bolivia. I used the Lonely Planet Guidebook for Bolivia when I went a few years ago and I just bought this one since I am planning a trip to Bolivia next summer. Lonely Planet has never let me down.
