ABOUT THE AUTHORS

Gary Chandler grew up in a small ski town near Lake Tahoe, CA. As a student at UC Berkeley, Gary spent a year abroad in Mexico City and Oaxaca. He returned after graduation, backpacking through much of Mexico and Central America. He got his first guidebook job shortly thereafter covering Guatemala, followed by assignments in El Salvador, Honduras, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Brazil, and elsewhere. Between assignments Gary earned a masters degree in journalism from Columbia University, worked as a newspaper and radio reporter in Buffalo and San Francisco, and married fellow author Liza Prado. Gary has worked on fifteen guidebooks in all, and has published various online articles, mostly on travel in Mexico and Latin America.

Liza Prado was working as a corporate attorney in San Francisco when she decided to take a leap of faith and try her hand at travel writing and photography. Five years later, she has co-authored eight guidebooks to destinations in Latin America and the Caribbean. Her photographs have been featured in guidebooks by Moon and Lonely Planet, and on several travel websites.

Through it all, the Yucatán has remained one of Liza's favorite places to travel. For this trip, she snorkeled through cenotes and coral reefs, clambered on Maya ruins, spied monkeys and tropical birds, and explored colonial cities and cobblestone towns (not to mention a nightclub or two)—all with a baby on the way.

Liza is a graduate of Brown University and Stanford Law School and has traveled extensively throughout the Americas and Europe. She speaks Spanish fluently, Italian and French decently, and can order a catfish dinner in Portuguese.  She currently lives in Oakland, CA with her husband and frequent co-author Gary Chandler and their daughter, Eva.
