The conscientiously researched accommodation and food suggestions, precise information on sights, activities and transport, practical route examples, 131 exact maps and a travel atlas help with planning and facilitate self-determined travel on site. Locations that the authors particularly like are marked with a suitcase symbol. There is also a lot worth knowing about geography, flora and fauna, history, culture and religion. There are also tips on how to behave and how to make your trip more socially and ecologically sustainable.
What is then still needed is time and patience to listen and observe as well as some courage to move off the beaten track and to get involved with the unknown.
