Description
Find your own journey. South America offers journeys of diverse character, from vast natural landscapes to urban life and historical sites. This comprehensive continental guide helps you identify potential connections between countries and choose a direction that suits your own travel aspirations.
Experiences and content. The book covers the continent’s countries and regions, including Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and the Guiana region. Lonely Planet combines maps and itineraries with local tips and practical planning. Use the guide’s breadth to compare landscapes and destinations, and to determine which experiences deserve more time rather than attempting to cover the entire continent.
Who is this book suitable for? This guide is suitable when you are considering a longer journey through several countries or have not yet decided on a specific part of South America. It provides a comprehensive overview that is particularly useful while major decisions are still being made.
From inspiration to your own plan. Use the guide before departure to choose a few experiences you really want, and see them in the context of the rest of the trip. A trip with fewer stops can give you more time to get to know each place. Browse through it together with your travel companions, compare ideas, and find a balance between what you want to fit in and what you want time to experience.
A physical book is also nice to return to during the planning process. Bring it out when discussing the next stage, find an idea you had noted, and let the plan develop as you become more familiar with the possibilities.
