Summary: I've used these books extensively...
Comment: and despite some editorial flaws, Lonely planet seems to have seriously freshed up this edition quite a bit. Descriptions are fairly accurate and good (though liberally opinionated at times) and the company seems to have eliminated the pedantic writing of its older guides. [...]It's too bad all the prices in this guide are all wrong of the peso crash, but this makes things so much cheaper for travellers. At least it's a great time to visit Buenos Aires!
Rating: 1
Summary: Warning: unreliable
Comment: Anyone considering buying this book should be aware that the publisher and authors have gotten in trouble with the Argentine and Brazilian governments for suggesting that foreigners could cross the border from Argentina to Brazil at Iguazú falls by using false identification (see p. 157). Anyone attempting to do this might well end up in a Brazilian or Argentine jail in an area where smuggling of drugs, guns and people is epidemic. Visitors should always get the appropriate Brazilian visa.
The rest of the book, while not so bad as this, is awkwardly written, though this could partly be an editing problem--in one instance, there is a curious statement that appears to state that the Buenos Aires subway has been demolished (p. 84).
