CENTRAL AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN

Lonely Planet - Watching Wildlife: Galapagos Islands

Lonely Planet - Watching Wildlife: Galapagos Islands (published November 2005)

"Ever dream you'd trip over a tortoise or blunder into a booby? This innovative guide will help you to identify and understand the Galapagos Islands' uniquely tame wildlife".

Lonely Planet - Caribbean Islands

Lonely Planet - Caribbean Islands (published October 2005)

"With coconut palms and white-sand beaches, vibrant cities and tranquil coves, the Caribbean’s rich mix of islands offers endless possibilities for the ultimate tropical escape. Whether you want to dive among shipwrecks, stretch out on dry land or cast away with a glass of rum, this comprehensive and practical guide is the key to unlocking your Caribbean dream".

Lonely Planet - Bahamas, Turks & Caicos

Lonely Planet - Bahamas, Turks & Caicos (published October 2005)

"Discover the treasures of these storied islands, where Columbus first landed and pirates once plundered. Sail glowing turquoise seas, kayak through mangroves, swim with docile stingrays or take a romantic stroll along a pink-sand beach. Our inspiring guide brings you beyond the tourist resorts to deserted cays and friendly fishing villages for an authentic island experience".

Lonely Planet - Belize

Lonely Planet - Belize (published October 2005)

"Ease your way into the island life on Ambergris Caye, where comfortable to luxurious lodgings and fine restaurants will pamper you between water activities. Smooth away any lingering symptoms of stress with a few days on Caye Caulker, then head to Lighthouse Reef or Turneffe Atoll for a spell of more remote island life with as much top-class diving, snorkeling and fishing as you can take. Accommodations range from camping on Half Moon Caye to the luxuries of Lighthouse Reef Resort. South of Turneffe Atoll, Tobacco Caye, with a cluster of midrange accommodations, and South Water Caye, with just three lodges, pop their heads up off the barrier reef. Further out is possibly the most idyllic of Belize’s three atolls, Glover’s Reef, with the only true budget resort on Belize’s outer islands as well as a couple of more expensive places. Continue by visiting beautiful reef islands such as the Silk Cayes and Ranguana Caye, and to round off your peregrinations on Belize’s southernmost offshore gems, the unspoiled Sapodilla Cayes".

Lonely Planet - Dominican Republic

Lonely Planet - Dominican Republic (published October 2005)

"Catch the sunrise from the Caribbean's highest peak, dance in Spanish colonial streets during Carnival, glide through mangrove forests in search of gentle manatees - or find that deserted beach with pure white sand and clear blue seas. This essential guide will help you discover the many faces of this island paradise".
