A nightmare!!
This guide is really disappointing. It's not updated at all, it's badly written with slang expressions and silly jokes. It came out just 6 months ago and it contains so many errors about places, hotels, restaurants. The worst thing has been going to really nice hotels or good restaurants that were completely empty because this book said they are worn, with slow service, too expensive etc...Most maps are incorrect and one place is described as a " sleepy village" whereas it is a region of 5-6 villages!!All the travellers I've met along the way complained about it!

A Gem
I think that the last reviewer of this book was needlessly harsh, I lived in Bolivia for two months, relied heavily on the guide book, and the only times that I had problems with it were down to me misreading its information. I found it very accessible due to its more casual style of writing, and in reality this is the guide book that everyone that travels to Bolivia seems to use. No one I met had any gripes about it, and while I don't doubt that there may be errors in it, I did not come across any. Indeed it really enriched my time in Bolivia, and I don't know what I would at times have done without it!
