.Three Letters from the Andes City Travel Guides > Books > South America by: Patrick Leigh Fermor July 01, 1993 I have a blind spot when it comes to travel writing. I don't mind reading it. I extract some pleasure from it. But for some reason I never feel I have read a 'real' book. I don't think they count. This is a pleasant account of an early 70s trip to Peru told through letters to the author's wife. It reads as if Fermor were at your dining table recounting the journey over a glass of wine. There is nothing wrong with it. It is fine. It just doesn't move me. Not his fault. >>See More Reviews & Details on Three Letters from the Andes |

.Footprint Argentina Handbook: The Travel Guide City Travel Guides > Books > South America by: Charlie Nurse 1998-07 We used this book for 3 months as we lived in Buenos Aires with few, if any, complaints. Footprint has been writing its South America guidebook series for 80+ years. It is simply the most well-informed guidebook for this continent. Compared to Lonely Planet, there is more information packed into Footprint and the quality of the materials and printing are superior. The maps are a level above the competition, especially the sad, gray smudges that pass for maps in the Lonely Planet. The multi-page country maps at the back of this series are by far the best maps in any guidebook printed today. 5 stars. The best. >>See More Reviews & Details on Footprint Argentina Handbook: The Travel Guide |

Danger, intrigue and adventure are the key elements of this book whether you're a treasure hunting couch potato or a serious treasure hunter yourself.
