"Latest edition of a highly-recommended guidebook to this fascinating corner of Mexico, a region which the author describes as "a big hitch-hiking thumb." Her interest and hard work has paid off in both editions. The book is loaded with hotel and transportation info, and great maps. Eco travelers will love this guidebook. The author provides full details on kayaking, hiking, rappelling, and camping in the region. Of special note -- this is the first guidebook to feature a section on colonial era hacienda hotels , including both luxurious hotels and working haciendas where readers can experience authentic Yucatecan living in fine accommodations that are also economically priced. Indigenous artists in Maya villages are also profiled. By far, this is the most comprehensive guidebook to the region." -- Planeta.com Journal. 

"Comparing your book to Lonely Planet's - your book won hands down on every level. It was AWESOME!" -- Erika Holm. 

"Profiles 49 Maya destinations, excellent trip planning hints, detailed maps and advice from health precautions to getting around." -- Anton Newspapers. 

"Your Yucatan guide is great.....Keep up the good work." -- Bill Bell. 

"I am the author of the thriller/adventure "A Tourist in the Yucatan" and I recently reviewed Adventures Guide to the Yucatan. In my opinion, this is a must have book for the adventure minded traveler! The author has done an excellent job in putting together the ultimate adventure guide book to the Yucatan. The typical tourist only sees a small fraction of what this fascinating section of Mexico has to offer. Inland are ancient Mayan ruins hidden in the jungle and colonial cities that date back to the 1500's. This book does a great job of outlining all the possibilities available in a straight forward and easy to read style. The introduction section should be very helpful to the first time traveler and there are lots of maps to help you find your way." -- James Brunfeld.
