Whether you're out for the action, fascinated by wildlife or hanker after the culture and cuisine, Chile and Argentina have firmly established themselves as top destinations for trekking. From gentle trails to the taxing peaks of the Andes, the region offers everything for the walker, cyclist and adventure-junkie.

Focusing on over 35 areas, with details of the region's flora and fauna, this is the guide to carry in your backpack. This guide includes 45 hikes, from northwest Argentina to Tierra del Fuego; unique descriptions of mountain treks near Santiago; rafting, kayaking, cycling, horse-riding and skiing; thorough coverage of national parks, including ecology and wildlife; wildlife on the Valdes Peninsula.
