This illustrated cult classic is a trip to Mexico in and of itself, complete with the flavor of the country, and its sights, sounds, and people. In addition to the basic information necessary, Carl Franz and Lorena Havens have packed the book with amusing stories and friendly guidance. The For More Information chapter is arguably the largest and most complete guide available on Mexico internet resources, book and map reviews, and other info sources for travelers. Hundreds of thousands of people who have read The People's Guide to Mexico over the past 30 years say they wouldn't travel without it. And there are lots of people who read it for sheer pleasure — with no intention of traveling at all!

Review

The People's Guide to Mexico is a different kind of guidebook--one that offers no lists of hotels, restaurants, nightclubs, or beaches. As Carl Franz says in the introduction to this 25th anniversary edition, "It is not about which hotels to stay in or the most interesting villages to visit. The purpose of this book is to teach you how to find out those things for yourself." Instead of telling visitors where to go in Mexico, this book lets travelers know how to go, whether they want to learn Spanish, retire south of the border, or simply travel as long as possible for the least amount of money. The People's Guide offers up witty anecdotes and sane, reasoned advice about everything from driving in Mexico to dealing with Mexican machismo to making the most of village fiestas. Best of all, the book provides a respectful and well-informed take on Mexican culture. Wherever You Go ... There You Are, reads The People's Guide subtitle, and it's an apt summation of the book's laid-back, roll-with-the-punches attitude. Tuck a copy into your backpack alongside a more conventional guide; it's like having a funny, trusted, and well-traveled friend along to show you the ropes.
