Review: Very useful - This book is well written, with clear explanations. A tad of the information is outdated (i.e. some hotels), which is to be expected since you can check hotels out on the internet. The CORE information, however, is truly invaluable. It has allowed us to plan our trip to Patagonia without having to take a tour! This book IS the tour, in so many ways. Review: Enticing and Practical Guide - First became aware of the Patagonia from Bruce Chatwin’s book in the late 1970s. My own experiences with the area dates back over 30 years ago, when I started to travel regularly to the Southern Cone, including a stint of four years living in Buenos Aires. Most of my exploring was limited to the northern Patagonia of Argentina and Chile. I wish that I had had this guide to facilitate a broader firsthand appreciation of the region. The guide has compelling photos and text to lure you combined with the practical details required to have successful explorations. A good number of options are provided, many of a rigorous sort involving hiking, but very relevant for the adventurous types likely to be drawn to the region to begin with. Appreciate the extensive gateway chapters, which alone would warrant an extended stay in Buenos Aires and Santiago. As well, that of the Falklands/Malvinas for the truly adventurous types!

A stellar guide for anyone interested in travel to the Southern Cone!
This is_the_guide for anyone interested in travel to the Southern Cone of South America, particularly Patagonia and the Falkland Islands (Malvinas in Spanish). As a fellow scholar of the region, I had already read all 800+ pages of Bernhardson's exhaustive PhD dissertation on the history, ecology and geography of the Falklands. Here, with the latest edition of the Moon Patagonia book, Bernhardson has applied a similarly rigorous approach to provide a far more accessible and practical overview of key sites of interest in both the Argentine and Chilean sides of Patagonia, as well as the Falklands. This book is a true gem. Highly recommended!

Either was used or mishandled and bad packaging
Book seems nice but came in bad condition. Kink on front and back, corner is peeling. Wanted to use it as a gift.

Wat te doen, te ontdekken en waar verblijf je het best in Patagonië.
Nog altijd één van de beste (Engelstalige) reisboeken over Patagonië ondanks dat de recentste uitgave van 2017 is. Een aanrader.

Very informative
Packed with useful information. We are planning trip to Patagonia in 2021 and this book has everything we will need. I would have given it 5 stars except that I am not keen on the size of the book. Very big and heavy. Impossible to put in a pocket.

No much details
Its good for lodgings and transports but not much details on trekking, camp site, and activites in national parc. It give you history, date and information on location but no details on trail or stuff to do in parc
