Book Reviews of Lonely Planet Chile & Easter Island (Country Travel Guide)
Book Review: OK
Summary: 4 Stars
I agree with the review above, LP Chile can be a useful resource to have for a first glimpse at a city in Chile if you travel by bus. For people who rent cars it will be less helpful.
I compared it to the Rough Guide, they seem to be almost the same - recommend same places, talk about the same stories etc. As if they're joined at the hip.
I may quibble with a few of the glowing recommendations (e.g., marked by !). In some cases, I suspect either kickbacks or royal treatment for the reviewers. A case in point - Ecole in Pucon, which while a nice place is not really like what the description says. Not to mention that the review caused the establishment to raise prices at least 5000 pesos above what its (equally good but not visited by LP) neighbors charge. So it gets a bit tricky: a good LP review will cause people to flock to the hospedaje/hotel, resulting in higher prices and/or less service.
Of course many good (and cheap) places do not get written up. Case in point: Totem in Valdivia, owned by an amateur anthropologist. Or refugio Tinquilqo in the Huerquehe national park, a pretty cool place.
Finally, the ATMs that most consistently work with US passwords belong to Santander (the ubiquitous Spanish bank). Their machines work in English and even have identical punch buttons as machines used by US banks. The exchange rate however was slightly less than the Chilean banks.
