Marlowe's Latin American Travel Books

Avalon Publishing released a slew of "handbooks" (the Moon Series) about hot spots in the Dominican Republic, Panama, Honduras and Nicaragua. In the series there is even Moon Cuba, by award winning travel writer Christopher P. Baker. For many who may want to travel to Cuba but are afraid of restrictions, Baker's book details how you can travel there legally. The book is full of ideas and trip tips on how to make your own glorious Habana nights, complete with a lover's tend-day beach tour guide and a cyclist guide.
Nicaragua, which is often overlooked as a touristic spot, gets its rightful due from Randall Wood and Joshua Berman who, have actually lived and breated Nicaraguan air.
Avalon recruited Dominicana-Americana Ana Chavier CaamaƱo to write about Santo Domingo and other DR highlights like Sosua, Las Galeras and Taino splendor.
Very little is known about Honduras. But the guide by Chris Humphrey is going to change that. It highlights Honduras's Mayan remains as well as diving and hiking sites.
