Product Description
One Hundred & One Beautiful Small Towns in Mexico broadens the successful One Hundred & One Towns series with a tour through the virgin coastal hamlets, sun-kissed terra-cotta villages, and lush green hilltop towns that abound in Mexico. This is the armchair traveler’s escape and the serious tourist’s companion, featuring exceptional photography referencing a rich cultural background steeped in ancient Mayan folklore and religious tradition. This book ventures through the countryside providing in-depth histories of the smaller, less trodden towns that speckle Mexico’s varied terrain, and introduces readers to the sights, sounds, and scents that are all a part of Mexico’s powerful allure. Towns are organized by region and are accompanied by information on local delicacies, nightlife, and must-see hot spots. A complete appendix with addresses and phone numbers of recommended hotels, villas, bed-and-breakfasts, restaurants, and more can be found at the back of the book, as well as a suggested reading list to round out your trip.

 A terrific resource for discovering new travel destinations in Mexico April 28, 2008

One Hundred & One Beautiful Small Towns in Mexico
What a fantastic resource for discovering the hidden gems of Mexico. We're planning a trip south, where the dollar will still deliver good value, and are thrilled that we found this book. It's packed with beautiful photographs, informative summaries, a selection of hotel and restaurant recommendations in each location and a regional index to help the reader/traveler organize and plan an itinerary. It covers the places we're all familiar with, but this book also reveals a whole new Mexico that you don't hear much about from the travel websites and agents.
It's not the sort of book you take with you. It's one you want to have before you plan. Who knew about the turquoise lagoons of Bacalar? Or the "dance of the fliers" in Papantla? If you're looking for an exciting and exotic cultural adventure or just wanting to know more about Mexico, get this book!
Great for anyone who loves Mexico September 17, 2009

I bought this book for my Dad, who loves Mexico and has been there often. I did take an extensive look thought, and it gives details of where to stay, eat, etc. at some of the more common and less explored locations. It great if you want to plan your own trip or even know what to look for once you get there. Beautiful pictures. It's a great way to decide what you would like to see.

I lived in Mexico for nearly 4 years and traveled all around. This book rings true
I agree with the towns they've selected and the descriptions for the beautiful towns in this magnificant country.

This was not at all what I expected. I thought it would be a soft cover guide book (for the low price). But this is a very interesting, large wonderful photo journal that we went through slowly with our Mexican friends who just loved it. Just a fantastic visual overview of interesting places in a facinating country.
Beautiful Book!! April 19, 2009

I might just have to buy the same book about Italy after purchasing this one about Mexico. The photos are all gorgeous and my goal is to visit each and every one of these beautiful towns. Mexico is (in my opinion) a very underappreciated country for its beauty and talents.
