Reader Reviews
I've traveled extensively in Chile and now live here part of the year. When I first came down here with just my backpack almost a decade ago, I had an earlier edition of LP's Chile in my hand. I still use it when traveling to places I haven't yet discovered or haven't been for a long time. I will disclaim with pride that Thomas Kohnstamm (a collaborator on this book) is one of my closest companeros ever since we were both getting our masters in latin american studies, and he has since developed into such a strong travel writer, with a fantastic novel about travel writing to be published in 2008. But as he gets no % of any royalties from LP, my friendship doesn't motivate my praise for the book. But I was using LP's Chile book even before I met Thomas. It led me to so many of the places and people I now hold so dear, especially by enabling me, in my first years of shoestring backpacking, to get off the gringo trail. But the book works for all travelers. There's a lot of good guide books out there and every one has a different perspective, but I find LP's to include the broadest spectrum of information, for people on all different budgets with all different types of travel tastes, styles, and expectations. This edition just came out so you can trust that the info is up to date, except note that the top-praised Outdoor Experience in Pucon is, as of now, no longer open. But definitely stay at Ecole and watch the volcano's fuego glow at night from the upstairs deck. Perhaps Outdoor Experience will have reopened next door. And if you are heading to Chile, I urge you to pick up a copy of the poetry of their national hero, the great Nobel Laureate pacifist Pablo Neruda, subject of Il Postino / Postman and so much more. The Essential Neruda: Selected Poems has been called by many as the best introductions and best books of his even if you already love and know him. Check it out. You will experience Chile differently after reading his words of passions. You will experience life differently. For more info, check out redpoppy dot net, a non-profit dedicated to furthering his commitment to humanitarianism and spreading his poetry around the globe. Making a difference in this world, one poem at a time. Paz y amor
