Hello all of you DR-lovers,

Quick question: Which guidebook would you recommend to backpack this country and why?

Muchas gracias!

I prefer the Rough Guide. I do not suggest the Moon book, I found it very innacurate when I read it.

None are perfect though and you are better off with a couple of them
