Product Description
Tracing the spine of the Andes halfway down the coast of South America, with far-flung Easter Island and its colossal stone monuments poised in the South Pacific like an orbiting star, Chile covers a lot of territory. From the arid Atacama desert in the north to the rich and fascinating landscape of Patagonia, this is a country bursting with delights for all the senses. World-famous vineyards cover the gentler slopes and rustic fishing villages dot the coast, while imposing volcanoes loom on the horizon. Of course, no visit would be complete without a stay in Santiago, the capital, with its bustling pedestrian zones and many cultural attractions. The Ulysses Guide Chile will take you to the furthest reaches of the country, whether you're heading off for a day on the slopes or to the distinctive Island of Chiloe, where the pace of life is a little slower, or to the Vina del Mar, Chile's top beach resort. This guide includes descriptions of all the attractions, star-rated to help you quickly spot the must-sees, an in-depth portrait of the country's major historical, political, social and cultural events, complete listings of restaurants and accommodations, for all tastes and budgets and over 50 detailed maps.
