Bradt Travel Guide Chile

A comprehensive Bradt guide to Chile, with the emphasis placed firmly on natural history and ecotourism. Every aspect of this geographically diverse country is covered, from the immense deserts and peaks of the north via the fertile central valleys to the amazingly dense rainforests and glaciers of the south. There is much to discover both in physical beauty and in the culture of Chile, such as ancient Inca ruins on some of the highest peaks of the Americas, wine districts of the central regions, volcano-fringed Chilean Lake District, and sailing and kayaking off subantarctic islands. Hiking, transportation, accommodations, and eating out are all detailed for this most easy of Latin American countries for independent travelers, along with plenty of information on natural history, national parks, and conservation.
