  Covers Chilean and Argentine Patagonia, as well as the Falkland Islands. This book highlights a range of diverse attractions, from Andean summits and dense temperate forests to boundless Patagonian steppes, a scenic coastline that stretches into the sub-Antarctic, wildlife-rich South Atlantic Islands, and sophisticated coverage of Santiago de Chile and Buenos Aires. From visiting Ushuaia, the world's southernmost city known as the uttermost part of the earth, and taking the scenic ferry route from Puerto Montt to Puerto Natales to hiking on Argentina's Morono Glacier, Moon Handbooks Patagonia is the guide to the best the country has to offer, both on and off the beaten path. Practical information includes suggested travel strategies and lists of must-see sights, plus essentials on dining, transportation, and accommodations for a range of budgets. Complete with details for exploring the wildlife lodges of the penguin-rich Falkland Islands, staying in guest ranches in the Patagonian outback, and whale watching at the World Heritage Site of Peninsula Valdes, Moon Handbooks Patagonia gives travellers the tools they need to create a more personal and memorable experience.
