AUTHOR THANKS Michael GrosbergThanks to Carly Neidorf for putting up with my long absences and of course to my coauthor Kevin Raub. And on the road to the following for their time, guidance, insight and warmth: Patricia Suriel, Omar Rodriguez, Michael Scates, Mark Rodriguez, Tim Hall, Clare and Jeroen Mutsarrs and Lorenzo Sanssani.

Kevin RaubThanks to my wife, Adriana Schmidt Raub, who sure does put up with a lot of travel. Thanks also to my former editor at Lonely Planet, Catherine Craddock-Carrillo; my partner in crime, Michael Grosberg, who had to put up with my early start; and all of the staff we lost

in 2013. On the road, Kim Beddall, Nicolas Warembourg, David Cruz, Gordana Stojanovic, Kris and Jill Thomas, Alan Nuñez, Melany Torres, Carla Mathe, Johan Guyot, Kate Wallace, Nathalie Agramonte, Damian Irizarry and Mara Sandri.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Climate map data adapted from Peel MC, Finlayson BL & McMahon TA (2007) ‘Updated World Map of the Köppen-Geiger Climate Classification’, Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 11, 1633¬44.
