Summary: Great guidebook for ecotourism in Mexico.
Review: Ron Mader has produced an eminently readable and useful guide to the many places in Mexico that do not make it into the mainstream guidebooks. As someone who has traveled extensively in Mexico, I found that his descriptions of the areas I had visited were right on target as were his evaluations of the local restaurants and hotels.While this book should not be your only resource when planning a trip to Mexico, it is a necessary additional resource for any traveler who plans to go beyond the well trodden areas such as Cancun, Acapulco and Mexico City.

Summary: A new model for guidebooks!!
Review: Ron Mader offers us an insightful, tasteful tour of Mexico's beautiful reserves, ruins, park, and biospheres. Mader sets a new model for guidebooks, giving us an overview of responsible tourism, as well as how to rate ecotourism, while encouraging fun and exploration. This book is full of information about nature-oriented tourism and how to enjoy it while learning and mixing with the locals. Especially helpful are tips about opportunities to stay wtih locals, such as Indigenous yu'us, or small tourist houses, which are located in deforested areas. Each house manages a nursery and raises trees to reforest. Mader says "by educating yourself about the complex interactions between natural systems and the human economy, you will magnify what you gain from your travel experience. Too often travelers build walls around themselves. The purpose of travel is to break out of the cubby holes we've constructed for ourselves and break through the wall that separates us from the world around us." This carefully crafted guidebook is bound to help you do just that!

Summary: The best places and the best advice on how to be in Mexico.
Review: Ron Mader spends most of his time in Mexico and he knows how to write about it! The details on unusual, beautiful places in this book make me want to leave today. What I like about this book is the way the author not only provides the details that any traveler needs, but he also tells us how it feels to be in a special place on the earth. And, he gives us reasons for wanting to support the ecological/socially-conscious businesses and organizations in Mexico that he describes.
