Chile's very own publisher has finally produced and English language complement to their well established line of Chilean guide books and maps. Travel Guide: Chile Experience is much more than a guide book. It's a lesson in culture, history, flora, fauna, gastronomy and more!

Written by a man who has spent the better part of his adult life in Chile, this book offers a perspective of Chile no Andean traveler should be without. From history and flora to indigenous culture, architecture and adventure this book educates the reader, adding depth to hikes, tours and conversation.

With maps, precise explanations and well researched tour suggestions and contact information, this book also offers detailed and digestible information for travelers interested in adventure and remote locations.

Finally, with charts, topographical maps and satellite imagery, this book pulls ahead of the leading pack of travel guides. Apart from the flowing, easy-to-read writing style, the maps and excellent graphics truly make this book a must have.

If you are a casual traveler, you might find something you weren't expecting. This is so complete, you'll find just what you're looking for. If you are an outdoor-adventure type, this is a must have for the time of your life. If you like history and architecture, you'll find it here. Chile, that skinny little country is full of fun and adventure. Josh Howell is the perfect guide.

You will absolutely, positively not find another guidebook on Chile that can compare with this one. Terrifically comprehensive and loaded with color photographs - many of them taken by the author - this book is obviously a labor of love. Highly recommended, whether you're looking to read up on specifc topics or going straight through, cover to cover.

Traveling is not a dream. Traveling is a need. Man, in state of nature, is an explorator. A traveler.
So begins Chile Experience, a very interesting and complete travel guide.
It's not an ordinary guide. At your bookshop's, you can find - you know, this kind of so-called guide which topics look like dictionary definitions... or books full of pictures, in which explanations are non-existent or so. Chile Experience includes both, and, moreover, it has been written by a Chile's lover, I guess.

From Atacama desert to Patagonian pampa, from Chile's climate to its history, this book involves the reader in the discovery of a culture, a country, a Nature whose riches we can hardly imagine.
The proverb says that traveling makes youth. Find a second youth in Chile - through this guide !
