A native of California, Shawn Blore (Brazil) has lived and worked in a half dozen countries and traveled in at least 50 more (but who's counting?). Long a resident of Vancouver, Shawn has for the past few years made his home in Rio de Janeiro. He is an awardwinning magazine writer and the author of Vancouver: Secrets of the City and co-author of Frommer's Brazil and Frommer's Portable Rio de Janeiro. Alexandra de Vries (Brazil) made her first journey to Brazil at the ripe old age of 1 month. (Alas, few of her food reviews from that trip survive.) In the years since, Alexandra has returned many times to travel, explore, and live in this amazing country. Alexandra co-writes Frommer's Brazil and Frommer's Portable Rio de Janeiro about her alltime favorite place to visit. Eliot Greenspan (Ecuador, Venezuela) is a poet, journalist, and travel writer who took his backpack and typewriter the length of Mesoamerica before settling in Costa Rica in 1992. Since then, he has traveled almost ceaselessly around Latin America, writing articles and guidebooks to feed his travel habit. He feels particularly at home in the neotropics-in its rain and cloud forests, on its rivers, and under its seas. Eliot is the author of Frommer's Ecuador, Frommer's Costa Rica and Frommer's Belize. Charlie O'Malley (Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay) is a writer and wine enthusiast who can be found living in Mendoza, Argentina, when he's not traveling the rest of South America. Jisel Perilla (Colombia) worked with a nonprofit microcredit organization in Medellin, Colombia, and has written about, lived in, and traveled throughout much of Latin America. She currently resides in the Washington, D.C., area and was at work on Frommer's Panama as this book went to press. Neil E. Schlecht (Peru) first trekked to Machu Picchu in 1983 as a college student, spending his junior year abroad in Quito, Ecuador. The author of a dozen travel guides (including Frommer's Peru and Spain For Dummies), as well as
