Aimed at both the experienced climber and the first-time trekker, this guidebook introduces one of the world's least known trekking destinations with 26 treks and 18 climbing peaks in the Andes. Covering the range from Venezuela in the north to Patagonia in the south, the book offers clear descriptions of treks - some short, two-day hikes and other, more strenuous two-week treks. The guide is also packed with practical information on travel, techniques and equipment, to help travellers have a safe and healthy trip. Strip maps pinpoint every route and give an idea of distance and timings, and photographs illustrate the landscapes en route.
Val Pitkethly has been leading treks in the Andes for many years. She is based in Canada, but also leads treks in Nepal and Europe. Kate Harper is an experienced mountain guide who has trekked all over South America. Based in the English Lake District, she divides her time between trekking and local community work. Consultant Victor Saunders is an internationally respected climber, qualified alpine guide and previous winner of the Boardman-Tasker prize.
