Rating: - Frommer's is the best "upscale" guide available on Brazil
For my five-week journey through Brazil (Sept/Oct 2007) I took three guides (Lonely Planet, Footprint and Frommer's) and Frommer's has the most positive qualities. This review refers to the 2006 edition.
Frommer's Brazil 2006 opens with "What's New in Brazil." This is a store house of information, especially if you are a frequent traveler to Brazil. New hotels and resorts are popping up throughout Brazil and if you can go to these spots before they become well known then you are ... Read More

I've enjoyed the other Frommer's Guides I've used, particularly the one for Costa Rica, so I ordered Frommer's Brazil online. I was quite disappointed to discover the book covers only a small portion of Brazil's geography. Not only is the sparsely inhabited interior not covered, the southern states, home to more than a million people and a vacation destination for hundreds of thousands of Brazilians and Argentines are not so much as mentioned. It's improper to title the book "Brazil" when ... Read More
