From Antarctica to Zimbabwe, if you're going there
chances are Lonely Planet has been there first. With a
pithy and matter-of-fact writing style, these guides are
guaranteed to calm the nerves of first-time world
travelers, while still listing off-the-beaten-path finds sure
to thrill even the most jaded globetrotters. Lonely Planet
has been perfecting its guidebooks for nearly 30 years,
and as a result has experience and know-how similar to
an older sibling's "been there" advice. The original
backpacker's bible, the LP series has recently widened
its reach. While still giving insights for the low-budget
traveler, the books now list a wide range of
accommodations and itineraries for those with less time
than money.
Discover how to make the most of a visit to this outdoor
adventure mecca (whether you're hiking, kayaking, rock
climbing, skiing, snowboarding, sailing, caving, biking, or
simply strolling). This guide provides a 20-page,
full-color flora and fauna section, as well as listings on
where to stay (from farms to resorts), background on the
Maori people's history and culture, and 113 maps
including national parks and ski areas.
