Description
Lonely Planet's "Travel Survival Kits" cover one country, or a small group of countries, in depth, with travel and accommodation options to suit a range of budgets. These guides are designed to be easy to use, providing practical travel information in a lively, entertaining style. Features of this series include: cultural and historical background; detailed maps of cities, towns and rural areas; information on getting there and getting around; practical information on every aspect of travel; health and safety advice; information on local cuisine; advice on customs and etiquette; key words, phrases and basic grammar of local languages; and names of places, restaurants and hotels in foreign script where applicable. Encompassing a narrow strip of land between the Pacific Ocean and the Andes, Chile boasts a varied landscape, from desert to lush forest, snow-capped volcanoes, glaciers and fjords. Easter Island, in the South Pacific, is famous for its huge stone statues. This "Travel Survival Kit" contains up-to-date travel information on these two destinations.
