Insects Certainly Are Very Interesting

Revisado: 08-03-22

The author himself narrated this fascinating set of lectures, so his expression reflected his passion in his subject he's been studying most of his life... I really enjoyed it all.

Accurate and Informative Tourist Information

Revisado: 07-30-20

Read by the author, Karen Higgs, this audio format of the second edition of her Guru’Guay Guide To Montevideo, is perfect for tourists and new immigrants who prefer to carry their travel guide information in digital devices. Even long time residents will learn something new. Karen lives here year-round, and her genuine enthusiasm for her adopted city shines through every authoritative word. It’s the perfect introduction to Uruguay’s distinctive European-Latino fusion based culture, the peaceful easy pace of life, fresh food, wonderful wines and good transport and communication services. As Karen points out, the small capital of Uruguay, Montevideo, offers many easily accessed opportunities to sample Uruguayan culture, history and architecture for a few days before you travel into the interior of the country. Her advice will ensure that you see and experience the best of Montevideo.
When Karen (and I) came to live here around 20 years ago, tourism in Uruguay was very low-key, even lacklustre. A frequently expressed attitude was that a tiny country with only 3.25m people offered nothing much of interest to the traveller apart from wonderful beaches in summer, fabulous meat and wine year-round, and a dazzling reputation on the world football arena. Even in Montevideo itself, if you couldn’t read or understand spoken Spanish, without local contacts it was difficult for the independent traveller to find comprehensive, organised and accurate, up to date information on services, attractions and events, in any language at all. The result was that until relatively recently, the city of Montevideo was one of the best kept tourism secrets in Latin America. Though information is now more widely available by internet (and there’s good coverage across the country) this comprehensive book has gathered everything and more that the traveller needs to know into the one place. Each chapter begins with the topic it covers, which makes searching particular topics easy, and they’re loaded with information, explanations, advice and tips on topics such as Clothing, Money and Tipping, Things To Do, Festivals, Outdoor Activities and many more. Every traveller to Uruguay needs this one, comprehensive, guide to the city of Montevideo - Alison Schwabe
