An Acclaimed 1995 Travelogue of a 2,600-Mile Journey Through Chile

British travel writer Sara Wheeler chronicles her solo 2,600-mile journey through the entire length of Chile. Setting out shortly after the end of Pinochet's military dictatorship in the early 1990s, Wheeler traveled from the parched northern Atacama Desert down through Santiago and the Lake District to the stark glaciers of Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego.

Her journal captures a nation undergoing dramatic political transition, blending sharp historical insight with vivid portraits of ranchers, poets, miners, and coastal villagers living in one of the world's most geographically extreme countries.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Sara Wheeler delivers a masterful work of British travel literature combining political acuity with atmospheric prose. A classic volume for readers of South American history, Chilean travelogues, and solo travel memoirs.
