Review
"The most comprehensive and informative guide to Chile yet. Not only packed with up-to-date practical information, it is also a great source of astute observations that will enhance any trip to this wonderful country." Edward Paine, Chairman of the Latin American Travel Association, and founder of Last Frontiers.
From the Back Cover
Tim Burford explores the length and (very narrow) breadth of Chile to capture the mind-boggling diversity of a country that encompasses the world's driest desert, towering snowcapped mountains and the lush coastal rainforest of Patagonia. Stay in charming hotels in Santiago, hike in the national parks, drive along the wine routes, or visit the islands. The choice is seemingly endless, the country is safe, and now is the time to go.

BASIC FACTS ABOUT THE BOOK,
By UNCLE NORMY (CALIFORNIA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chile: The Bradt Travel Guide (Paperback)
I got this info from Bradt-travelguides website: typical of the entire line, it's 688 pages · 8 colour photos · 79 maps.
So be aware that this is no "Insight" guide, with plenty of photos to help you decide what to see. I wish AMAZON would include info like this on all travel books. Require the publisher to provide an outline of book.
