Information Sheets

SAE info sheets are relatively short writeups on specific subjects, e.g., hotels in Buenos Aires, language schools in Quito, tour operators for the Inca Trail, doctors and dentists in Lima, etc.

Note: SAE info sheets are not SAE info packets. Info sheets are FREE to SAE members. SAE info packets are not free. Why? Because a lot of effort goes into making an SAE packet and updating it regularly. Also, information packets are big. The driving packet is well over 100 pages. The Manu packet, over 40. We’ve got to charge for information packets. Believe it.

You’ll note that for some countries, there are a lot of information sheets. Peru and Ecuador are examples. For both, there are over 100 info sheets and more coming in all the time. This will be true of Argentina as well, as soon as the Buenos Aires Clubhouse is up and running. On the other hand, for some countries, notably French Guiana, Paraguay, and Uruguay, there are far fewer information sheets. There are several reasons for this. Not a lot of people travel to these countries. There’s also less to write about.

Reliable, up-to-date information sheets are as valuable an SAE resource as well-written, informative trip reports. If you have a special area of expertise (parapenting, pottery making, weaving, herpetology, antique buying, dune surfing—whatever), we would be undyingly grateful if you would take more than a few moments to share your wisdom with the rest of us in the form of an info sheet. Just send the information and we’ll do the formatting and posting.
