The People's Guide to Mexico: Wherever You Go...There You Are!! (People's Guide to Mexico, 11th Ed)

Customer Reviews

This is a treasure chest overflowing with infotainment: outrageous travel stories, Mexican slang, advice about everyday problems, e.g., from dealing with corrupt officials to building a thatched roof beach hut to bargaining in the market.

This book includes an incredible amount of general and detailed information about Mexico, but encourages readers to explore the country on their own. It gives the reader an inkling of what to expect and what not to expect of Mexico and Mexicans.

Although aimed primarily at low-to-mid-budget travelers, it's a must-read for anyone trying to understand Mexico and its culture. Dispelling myths about Mexico, it presents the everyday, bizarre reality of the place.

There's no need to start at the beginning and read each chapter sequentially to the last. Just open the book anywhere and become engrossed in some insanely funny adventure or a recipe for grilled Red Snapper.

I read an early edition cover-to-cover about a week before my first dive deep into Mexico's interior in the mid-1970s. I've never had more fun reading a guidebook, and just about every word still rings true whenever I return. Reading this book is an adventure in itself.
