Summary: The Best Travel Guide to the "Isle of Enchantment"
Comment: Lonely Planet does it again! This time they have researched and presented a through and excellent travel guide to Puerto Rico. Everything from culture, to popular sayings are covered here. The series, which is well-known for covering off-the-beaten-track locales has done an excellent job of covering the rarely visited satellite islands of Vieques, Culebra, and Mona excellently. Mona was esepcially interesting to see seeing that it so hard to reach from even the main island. The only thing I found inaccurate in the book was the author's classification of Puerto Rican Spanish as "Boricua". The language is Spanish, but the dialect that is spoken on the island is also commonly heard throughout the Spanish-speaking countries of the Caribbean Basin. It is know as Antillean Spanish. Boricua (derived from the indigenous name of the island, "Borinquen") is an affectionate term used by islanders to refer to one of their own (just in the same way native Floridians are known as "Crackers," and Northerners are known as "Yankees"). With that exception, this book is the best book on the market when traveling to this beautiful island. I also highly recommend the Insight Guide to Puerto Rico. A must have for every traveler!

Summary: Viva Puerto Rico!
Comment: I just got back from Puerto Rico and stayed with a friend who has lived there for four years. She read the book cover to cover and said that it was very accurate and the author had done an amazing job researching and writing it. I would recommend a trip to Luquillo Beach and a stop at the small, family run food joints on your way back to San Juan. Or a jaunt up into the lush rainforests of El Yunque-this book has it all! Viva Puerto Rico!

Summary: Good, but not accurately updated
Comment: I just reviewed Let's Go PR and Explore PR by Harry Pariser and returned from PR a few days ago. I agree with previous reviewers about this edition - some of the information is not accurate and was not updated. But this might be because the publication year is 2002. I really liked Let's Go - this had by far, the best and most comprehensive info on lodging, eats, and getting around. I would not use Explore PR - this is not useful at all. I would say Let's Go had mostly everything that Lonely planet PR did - except for maybe the background info on culture, history etc. I will consider travelling with both a Lonely planet and a let's go in the future. If you have to choose one book on PR, I would buy Let's Go. If you can take a second, bring the Lonely Planet PR. Also visit Culebra!
