Backpacking in Mexico

Rating:
Summary: Not perfect but worth the price
Review: Although the book had valuable information on remote areas of Mexico the "narrative" approach to giving directions was a little dated in the age of widely available GPS. Distances are often expressed in terms of time and landmarks are at times vague.

Even so I have used the book on several trips and found it better than my usual "inquire locally" approach. At least I don't feel that I'm going in totally ignorant of a location. The book is particularly valuable in picking a destination to your liking.

If you are at all a naturalist you will appreciate the detailed lists of flora and fauna. The general travel information was also quite detailed.
