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.
