Book News Annotation:
This hefty month-to-month travel guide would not pack well, but
adventurous readers can use it to preview the panoramas at 124 sites
in North and South America, including Central America and the
Caribbean. The authors profile sites both natural and cosmopolitan
listed by the time of year at which they are at their best. They
visit several locals for each month including the Carlsbad Caverns in
January, Anza-Borrego Desert State Park in March, Machu Picchu in
June, the Burning Man festival in August, Oaxaca for the Day of the
Dead in October, and Québec in December. Color photographs, a brief
description, a short list of accommodations and activities, a travel
itinerary, and essential things to know are provided for each entry.
