1. My wife and I travelled in the south of Chile during the fall of 1997. Gerry Leitner's guide was invaluable both in the planning and in-country parts of our trip. This guide is appropriate for both budget and non-budget travellers.

   Leitner's book -- unlike other guides -- provides a host of essential detail. Some examples include bus schedules, seasonal dates of operation, and accurate phone numbers. The information is unusual in its comprehensive character. In fact, we were -- in some instances -- able to get more accurate and complete information from Leitner's Travel Companion than local sources. This was all the more surprising in view of the fact that my wife is an Uruguayan national and a native speaker of Spanish.

   The excellent organization and outstanding maps in Leitner's guide always keep the traveler oriented. Again in contrast to other travel books on Chile, it is easy to find information and understand the relation of parks and towns to a region and of regions to the entire country. This makes it easy to plan a trip or change itinerary at a moment's notice.

   As a final note, the far south of Chile and Argentina otherwise known as Magallanes, Patagonia, and Tierra del Fuego -- notwithstanding its awesome beauty -- is a real place and not a mythical realm. This travel guide keeps the traveller's feet on this real ground. Its content encompasses and in many cases excedes the sum of all other travel guide literature on this region.




2. We recently returned from Chile and found this guide to be almost useless when it came to reccommending restaurants and hotels. About half of those listed were no longer in business. This book should not be sold until it gets updated

2 comments about Footprint Chile Handbook (3rd Edition).

1. Prior to my trip to Chile last year, I checked available guide books in a local bookstore. I chose Footprint for the content and maps, and also because it had a section about Patagonian Argentina that would be useful. I wasn't disappointed, the guide was most helpful. When talking to another traveller in Chile who had an Italian version of Lonely Planet guide, I could see that some information in the Footprint guide was more accurate. I liked it so much that I'm ordering new Footprint guides for my upcoming trips.



2. Excelent! All informations I needed to travel all aroud Chile, from Patagonia to Atacama was in this book. I recomend!
