Product Description

Product Description
This updated and revised travel guide to Argentina contains ideas on how to plan a visit, when to go, where to stay and how to get about. In the same series as "The South American Handbook", it includes Chilean Patagonia (including Parque Nacional Torres del Paine) and excursions from Buenos Aires into Uruguay. The book features: extensive listings on Buenos Aires for all budgets; information on "where to tango"; a special section on "estancia" tourism and adventure tourism, from climbing and trekking to skiing; comprehensive background information on history, culture, art and theatre; colour maps to help plan a journey, with dozens of local town and site maps; and Spanish words and phrases.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointing, 28 Nov 2006
By LJ "LJ" (Milan) - See all my reviews
I hate to write a bad review about a Footprint book because I have used them in the past and thought they were great, but I feel that they have lost their way a bit with this guide to Argentina. I am just back from a trip and found the guide out of date and it seemed to be aimed at the 'older' traveller. Also, the writer obviously has a huge amount of experience and love for Argentina, but I felt that sometimes that coloured the judgment of things to see/do in the guide. A guide should, in my opinion, give an unbiased viewpoint 'warts and all' and I felt that this was absent from the Footprint guide. This guide may give you bus details etc, but I would definitely go for the Time Out guides, where possible, in preference to Footprint in the future, which are more colourful and have an altogether 'younger',whether in years or just in outlook, viewpoint.
