The Rough Guide to South America on a Budget: Travel Guide with eBook

Rough Guides are written by expert authors who are passionate about both writing and travel. They have detailed knowledge of the areas they write about–having either traveled extensively or lived there–and their expertise shines through on every page. It’s priceless information, delivered with wit and insight, providing the down-to-earth, honest read that is the hallmark of Rough Guides.

From markets to minarets, buses to boats, Mark Davidson is at his happiest writing and taking photographs on his travels. Whichever destination he finds himself in, he likes to immerse himself in local culture and wildlife, whether that’s sitting on rooftops in Amazigh (Berber) villages or seeing orangutans swing wild from tree canopies in Borneo. He enjoys the simple life when travelling, none more so than when he slept wild in the Western Desert in Egypt.

Sara Humphreys is a freelance researcher, writer and educator. Sara has toiled, travelled and tarried in various countries in sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America and Europe, including a year living in Opuwo, northwest Namibia, helping untangle post-independence curriculum changes.
