Chile and Argentina: Backpacking and Hiking by Tim Burford
From the tropics to Cape Horn, these two countries have become the ideal haunts for global backpackers. First published in 1980, this classic guide provides valuable information on long- and short-distance trails of the region. Patagonia, the little-known but culturally rich region of north-west Argentina and the area around Santiago, Chile, are all covered as well as the world-famous Torres del Paine and Fitz Roy. Tim Burford provides the essential facts for backpackers on transport, where to stay, where to buy camping supplies and how to travel safely and healthily.
