Customer Reviews

Do not gamble on any other guidebook!
I bought this guidebook in Rio after I was thoroughly disapointed with the guide I had bought for my South Amercia trip (see my review on Rio De Janeiro (Globetrotter Travel Pack) (Paperback)).
The Lonely Planet guide saved my trip and allowed me to enjoy the truly amazing city of Rio!
My conclusion - no more gambling - it's Lonely Planet for me every time!

Great guide
Used this guide on a week long trip to Rio and would highly recommend it. The maps are all very good and the general info about Rio is interesting and very informative.

Review of the Rough Guide to Brazil
As with all rough guides this book is strongest compared to other guides on the historical background and cultural context. It is perhaps slightly weaker than other guides on information about how to get to places--information that is relegated to a small entry at the back of chapters. Overall, however, I recommend it strongly.
