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.

Practical information includes suggested travel strategies and lists of must-see sights, plus essentials on dining, transportation, and accommodations for a range of budgets.
