Title: Moon Patagonia Pdf Including the Falkland Islands (Travel Guide)
Wayne Bernhardson first traveled to Patagonia in 1979, visiting both Chile and Argentina as far as Tierra del Fuego, "the uttermost part of the earth," and has returned to the region almost every year since 1990. He also spent a year walking, sailing, and flying around the Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas) and had the pleasure of revisiting them to research this book. He owns an apartment in Buenos Aires, near the Palermo botanical gardens, and spends four to five months in the "Southern Cone" countries every year.Wayne earned his PhD in geography at the University of California, Berkeley, but abandoned academia for a perpetual Latin American road trip that many university faculty envy. He is the author of Moon guides to Argentina and Chile, and has written for magazines and newspapers including Trips, the San Francisco Chronicle, the American Geographical Society's Focus, Business Traveler, Dupont Registry Tampa Bay, Postcards, National Geographic Traveler, Latin Trade, and Travel Holiday. He often gives lectures on destinations he covers in his books.When not in South America, Wayne resides in Oakland, California, with his wife, María Laura Massolo, their daughter, Clio Bernhardson-Massolo, and their Alaskan malamute, Malbec (named for Argentina's signature red wine).
Patagonia's staggering landscapes, titanic glaciers, and rugged mountains evoke mystery and inspire self-discovery. Explore the ends of the earth with Moon Patagonia.

Four Stars Good map, a little bit difficult to read.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!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!
