Summary: Best of the Chile guides
Comment: When planning my trip to Chile, I bought about every Chile guide I could find, and I have about 8 or 10 of them. While none of them had "everything" this one was definately the best of them. The city maps were useful as they are in all Lonely Planet books anad its practical information helped decide where to go and how to get around. I think it gave me the most useful information of all the other guidebooks. I planned my entire trip to Chile and Easter Island from guidebooks and phone calls without any tour agency. I think I did find a couple things out of date as others did, but that is, as said another reviewer, common to all guidebooks as they are researched over a period of time, then edited & compiled, then finally released. I recommend getting this book if you plan to visit Chile and also another book for another point of view and other details. The book is not perfect, but it is probably the best out there on the subject.

Summary: a great guide
Comment: While shopping for a guidebook for my first visit to Chile, this book (the previous edition of it) looked like the most comprehensive guidebook available. It was extremely helpful for both choosing what places to visit and how to visit them. As some other reviewers noted, there were some weaknesses and omissions and some information was out of date, but the current edition of the book is likely to be more up-to-date. Anyway, if you need your whole trip laid out for you, you are probably better off joining a tour group. I found the Lonely Planet Trekking in the Patagonian Andes was a good complement to this book. I certainly wish all the information had been available in a single book, but given the amount of detail in both the Chile and Patagonian Andes books, I don't begrudge Lonely Planet too much.

Summary: Concise, filled with great information, excellently written.
Comment: This is for certain one of the best Lonely Planet guides I came across (and I do have a very large collection). Perhaps aided by the fact that Chile is a relatively small country, yet stretching from the tropical to the antarctic areas, and by the relative homogeneity of the country in terms of society and culture, the author and editors have done an excellent job in collecting and putting together all the best information a traveller to Chile would need. I know Chile very well, and can witness that this information is up-to-date, correct, unbiased, and altogether an indispensable tool for any traveller, providing all necessary data for the more well-off and for 'backpackers' alike. The information is concise and clear. Everything is excellently written, thus ensuring real pleasure too. The sections on politics, history and society are excellent too. Altogether, it is a great companion while travelling in Chile or dreaming of Chile.
