This updated and revised travel guide to Argentina contains ideas on how to plan a visit, when to go, where to stay and how to get about. In the same series as "The South American Handbook", it includes Chilean Patagonia (including Parque Nacional Torres del Paine) and excursions from Buenos Aires into Uruguay. The book features: extensive listings on Buenos Aires for all budgets; information on "where to tango"; a special section on "estancia" tourism and adventure tourism, from climbing and trekking to skiing; comprehensive background information on history, culture, art and theatre; colour maps to help plan a journey, with dozens of local town and site maps; and Spanish words and phrases.
