This is the first time a guidebook addresses Chile's Central Region exclusively, a region offering an overwhelming variety of natural contrasts in a compact space. Cactus desert, savannas and the beginnings of the rainforest, active volcanoes, huge glaciers, and endless beaches - they are all available here, and they come with a sunny mediterranean climate and relatively good tourism facilities.
Only a few kilometers from the big city lights of Santiago is where nature lovers will delight in a diverse fauna and flora, trekkers can climb lonely peaks, fans of whitewater kayaking find untamed rivers to explore, paragliders may admire the Andes from above, and surfers can tackle the tubes of the Pacific.
This book, however, does not stop at simple descriptions of outdoor pursuits. It contains a long chapter dedicated to the people and nature of Central Chile - from the huasos and arrieros to the starry skies at night. This detailed cultural background information is complemented by a host of practical tips on how to have a fun-filled vacation adventure.
