Synopsis
Patagonia has thousands of miles of diverse and dramatic landscapes and micro-environments, sparsely populated by humans and rich in wildlife and natural wonders. This title takes the visitor through this land, from the South Atlantic coast via the Argentine steppe, to the Andes and lake districts on both sides on the Chilean and Argentine border to the fjords and glaciers of the South Chilean archipelago. The text offers the best of what to eat, what to see and where to stay, as well as the region's best buys. There should be something for everyone, from trekking to skiing and from mightlife to beachresortds.

From the Publisher
Time Out Patagonia highlights what’s best, what’s new and what’s classic in one of the most diverse and exciting regions on earth

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   11 of 11 people found the following review helpful: Interesting overview but no detail, 3 Jan 2005 By  Rebecca Warren "beaniebex" (Bristol) - See all my reviews    I have just returned from a trip to Chile and spent around 2 weeks in Chilean and Argentine Patagonia. I bought this book because it was specific to Patagonia and also 3 for 2 in Waterstones! It's an interesting and easy read with quite a lot of description, history and background. Although a slim volume, it's also nicely glossy with plenty of pictures, and the information I used seemed to be accurate. However, with my bad Spanish, there is no way I could have negotiated Patagonia confidently or planned my trip in any detail using just the information in this book. There was nothing much in the way of travel times between places, bus information or decent town maps, and the section on Chilean Patagonia is quite small. Patagonia is a truly beautiful place to visit, but I would highly recommend borrowing this book from the library to get a feel for the region, and then buying the Footprint guides for Chile/Argentina to take with you.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
