Chile: Carretera Austral: A guide to one of the world's most scenic road trips (Bradt Travel Guides)

Full of information and recommendations that greatly increased my success and pleasure of driving the entire Ruta 7. I agree with other reviews that it could be better organized to reduce the amount of flipping back and forth, but if you are doing this trip, then this tome is a no-brainer purchase. I would read and note it ahead of time to have an overview, rather than just reference the location you are traveling that day. I found little data that I would disagree with, but of course you may find things that could be added. It was quite current as of early 2019.

The Kindle version is useless, they don't offer links to web based maps and there is no way to zoom in on the maps they provide. The organization is not that good, i'm constantly trying to bounce around from one section to another trying follow guide sections. The writing and history is good and the book is really descriptive at times, but, there aren't a lot of pictures. In one section they describe all the plant and animal life you may find there and the section is completely devoid of pictures...cool. They just make the first few pages really colorful so you assume this will be case for the whole book, it's not. It really becomes more of a "what to google handbook" instead of a guide.

We have visited many of our Creator's. special accomplishments and Patagonia ranks with the best. A combination of the Alps, Alaska and New Mexico........the beauty is awesome and not to be missed!!MMxico

As a Chilean I can say that this is an Excelent and complete guide better than anything else out there! A lot of context and history about each mayor place on Carretera Austral. What I value about the authors are their direct and honest aproach advising and recomending when something its worth or not doing!

My complaint with this book only has to do with Kindle as a way of displaying the book. There is no useful way to zoom in maps. A screen view magnification makes things bigger, but grossly pixilated. Having good access to the maps is critical for a travel book, so without these the usefulness of the book decreases markedly.

This is an excellent guide, providing invaluable information on transportation, lodging, rental cars, ferries, national parks and lots more. It has been a huge help in planning a three week long trip on the Carretera Austral.

I know these guys, I live here in Patagonia. They are spot on !

well written and designed, more detailed than other guides, maps could be improved

I did the Carretera Austral, but left it at Chile Chico and headed to El Chalten through Argentina. Book was very useful.

Really excellent book and great for planning an amazing trip

...Guida della Carretera Austral disponibile sul mercato per chiunque voglia visitare la zona. Chiaramente consiglio l'acquisto anche di una cartina stradale dedicata. Amazon, come al solito, ineccepibile!

Wer die Absicht hat die Carretera Austral zu bereisen und gut Englisch spricht: ein absolutes Muss !

Limited generalized information which for the current world conditions is not realistic. Poor value for cost.
