This is a unique and the most complete \"smart\" travel guide, which I made, at first, to be solely used in my own, after buying so many travel guides and still feeling - they aren't good enough for my adventures to explore wilderness as a biologist and wildlife\/travel photographer. I was missing it during my trip to Patagonia in 2017, otherwise, I would be much more efficient as a wildlife photographer and traveler. I hope the book will be a good \"practical tool\", an all-to-know set of guide books for you, while you are exploring the world with responsible mind and open heart as a truly nature lover. The book contains 100+ GPS coordinates of important to know places, 50+ website links, covering all the important campsites, hotels, viewpoints, trails, key sightseeing, it has 15 detailed trekking maps, and 14 photographs I made in March-April 2017. The book describes \u003cb\u003ehow to get in\/out the \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003epark\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003e(by bus or plane), \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eall park's updated rules and prices\u003c\/b\u003e, then \u003cb\u003ehow to design your trekking route\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003ehow to book all accommodation \u003c\/b\u003ein the park. In addition to \u003cb\u003epopular \"W\" and \"O\" trekking circuits\u003c\/b\u003e in the park, I give information about another \u003cb\u003e4 \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eless-known, secret \"off-the-bitten-pass\" trails \u003c\/b\u003ewith hiking maps for each. I also give all the details for wild and paid camping, hotels, hostels, domes, cabins, food stores, roads conditions, travel scenarios, public buses, prices for touristic services, kayaking, horseback riding. At the end of the guide, I give detailed information what kind of \u003cb\u003ewild animals and where you can meet in the park \u003c\/b\u003e(puma, condors, huemul, guanaco, fox) and their behavior, and \u003cb\u003ehow \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eto hike safely in Patagonia, art and skills in surviving harsh Patagonian conditions\u003c\/b\u003e, especially in the Andes region, as a hiker. I also describe \u003cb\u003ewhere you can find fossils from Jurassic Era \u003c\/b\u003eof ichthyosaur, of a large prehistoric marine dolphin-like predator, or to see \u003cb\u003eancient cave paintings of indigenous tribes \u003c\/b\u003elived here 3000-8000 years ago. The book can be equally useful for \"budget\" adventure seekers, solo\/group travelers, \"fast \u0026amp; easy\" with a rented car\/campers or travel agency users as well as for paid wildlife and travel photographers on a mission. Printed versions of the book just went far beyond of my anticipation; quality is highest standard possible, they are rather small (15x23 cm), light-weight (only 150 g each), fully colorful inside with maps and GPS coordinates, pages are robustly made and glued, the cover is made of water-repellent paper, books are flexible, you can bend them, nothing will happen... though, they are ideal to put them into your backpack and use them while you travel through wonderful Patagonia. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eS U M \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eM\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e A R Y\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e1) 15 topo hiking maps\u003cbr\u003e2) 20+ main and detour trails\u003cbr\u003e3) detailed technical information for each trail\u003cbr\u003e4) how to get here by bus, plane and fare prices, schedules\u003cbr\u003e5) free and paid campsites, refugios with a map, location, descriptions\u003cbr\u003e6) 2 general park's overview maps\u003cbr\u003e7) description of park's wildlife, where to find it\u003cbr\u003e8) 50+ web links related to the hiking trails and travel\u003cbr\u003e9) 100+ GPS coordinates for the main trail landmarks, trailheads, detour trails, campsites, refugios\u003cbr\u003e10) color printed inside on high quality paper, with a glance cover, compact 6x9 in (15.2x22.8 cm), lightweight, robustly made book format, which can fit into any backpack\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50444715524370,"sku":"9798581430163","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_df395fb6-18ba-42fb-bcb4-9e70ff4d8641.jpg?v=1744209769","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/patagonia-torres-del-paine-national-park-smart-travel-guide-for-nature-lovers-hikers-trekkers-photographers-9798581430163","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
