Fordor's Central America, 2nd Ed

You don't make it easy to submit reviews but I will make one anyway. This was the best guide book I found for Central America. The others were all amateur in comparison.

Good Guide For Travellers On A Mid Range Budget

In my younger backpacking days I used to think of Fodor's as guidebooks for rich old tourists. But at age 39 and now inclined towards mid range travel, I find Fodor's to be better than expected. This guidebook covers all 7 Central American countries in detail, with slightly more space devoted to the most popular countries such as Costa Rica and Guatemala. Their travel writers have a approach towards travel that is both adventurous and respectful. But without the sort of self-righteous political correctness that mars many Lonely Planet guides nowadays. Those travelling on an extremely tight budget might still prefer LP or Moon guidebooks for their greater variety of low-end hotels. But for most travellers I think Fodor's would be a worthy purchase.
