Lonely Planet guides are consistently the best. Great amount of local history & context, suggestions that will push you out of your comfort zone but not break the bank, and maps.

You can always count on LP's guide books. Got all the info from this book that I needed, excellent resource.

Perfectly fine, but a bit basic. I have the Kindle version.

This book is full of useful information about where to stay and eat. I found it a little heavy and mechanic; but the information is valuable and shows hard work from the researchers.

Mentions a lot of nature reserves & some hiking trails. Some of the hotels are no longer in business. Overall, very helpful.
