For this book, she dived through coral reefs and swam in crystalline cenotes, listened to howler monkeys and watched flamingos in flight; she also explored colonial cities and Maya ruins, ate countless salbutes and even walked in a two-mile-long Day of the Dead procession. A graduate of Brown University and Stanford Law School, Liza lives in Denver, Colorado with her frequent coauthor Gary Chandler and their children, Eva and Leo. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eGary Chandler\u003c\/b\u003e grew up in a small ski town south of Lake Tahoe, California.

His first guidebook assignment was covering the highlands of Guatemala, followed by assignments in El Salvador, Honduras, Mexico, Brazil, the Dominican Republic, and elsewhere. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Gary has contributed to almost 40 guidebooks, many coauthored with wife and fellow travel writer\/photographer Liza Prado.
