Here's the thing about Bolivia. It's a country of vast, unspoiled contrasts. There are places so remote that you may think you've arrived on another planet, yet those places find their way into this book. Want to get lost in the wilderness, just like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid? No problem. Want to stroll the streets of beautiful colonial towns full of baroque architecture? Got that too. Want to go trekking through the most rugged mountains, densest tropical forest, or hippest urban jungle? It's all here. From top quality resorts to hole-in-the-wall hostels, you can be pampered or persecuted. It's up to you. No matter what you choose to do, you'll share all this loveliness with only about 11 million other people, and a good travel guide.
A country as diverse as Bolivia deserves a guide as good as this one. Truly excellent, comprehensive travel guides are hard to find, but this is one of them. There are 400 pages here dedicated to this landlocked wonder. The detail itself is awesome, from the depth of the cultural and historical content to the comprehensiveness of the numerous listings. The maps are simple and accurate, and there's enough good color photography and other content to pique your interest. The material I like to call "coaching" material - suggested itineraries, must-see lists, and "if you like" recommendations - are not just filler content, but display a real working knowledge of the country.
I've used other guides to plan trips to Bolivia, namely, the Footprint guide, and it is also a good book, but it just can't compare to the richness of this volume. The Lonely Planet guide illustrates a real commitment to Bolivia as a prime destination rather than a pass-through.Read more ›

Nice balance of photos and information. It makes you want to see the whole country, not just the one week I will be able to spend this trip in La Paz...

95% of the information already knew from surfing the web, and the other 5% was general anywhere travel information!
Hope this helps someone else from wasting their money!

I bought a tablet to cut down on the weight of books on a 3 months' trip to South America, but the Kindle versions just don't work. There's no index and I can't look up the places I need.
The text is fine, informative, and even funny at times, but as a guidebook it Is useless.
You don't buy a guidebook to read cover to cover before you go, at least I don't.
So, it's useless. Sorry.
