The first place covered in every country is the capital city, after which the territory is divided into regional subsections. It contains a town by town commentary along routes covering the most interesting places to visit, including accommodation, and places to eat. Also included are practical travel information and health tips for the tropics, and in-depth background information on each country featured.
