  Chile, the ribbon of land between the Andes and the Pacific, 4329km long and on average no more than 180km wide, is spectacular in its variety. From the deserts in the north to the glaciers of the south, Chile has everything - lakes, forests, volcanoes and Mediterranean style countryside with vineyards and orchards. This guide includes coverage of the Chilean Pacific Islands including Easter Island. In a period of rapid change, it is important to travel with up-to-date information on all aspects of Chilean life. This handbook provides information on: the latest news on air-passes and reliable information on the bus network; how to plan a trip, and things to do if you have an extra week; where to stay and eat and how to get to grips with the vast range of Chilean seafood; developments in the adventure tourism scene, such as where to ski and go white-water rafting; and insights into many aspects of Chilean culture and life, such as rodeo and Mapuche folklore. This guide to Chile is in the same series as the South American Handbook .
