South America Travel Guides | Travel Writing
The first point on this is that you'll prepare a lot before you go browse the section on travel articles for lots of ideas and information. The internet is obviously the best way to find information out before you go, however, when your bus arrives late in a small town high in the Bolivian Andes, the nearest Broadband connection may be hundreds of miles away. So whilst guide books are not the ultimate traveller's resource they once were, we would still say that you must take one with you. They can also be a good read for those long bus trips.
We have also included a link to the world's largest map store to help you get around, our pick of travel writing for the region, as well as a selection of some of South America's finest authors.

1. Lonely Planet Guide Books
Best for: The general guide on South America; Lonely Planet’s ‘South America On A Shoestring’ guide. If you are only going to one country in Latin America you might want to get the guide for that specific destination. However everyone I know that has gone to one country in South America, wants to go to them all, so a better investment would be the general guide. Visit the Lonely Planet store to find the best guides to suit your requirements.
