PATAGONIA, Los Glaciares National Park, Perito Moreno Glacier, El Calafate, hiking maps (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798858506119)

This is a book 4 in my new series of "Hiking Maps" for wonderful unearthly beautiful Patagonia, for its most famous national park Los Glaciares, of course, fully updated for 2024-25 season. The book contains 11 detailed hiking maps (20 trails in total), technical details for each trail like distance (km and miles), hiking time, altitude elevation, gain and loss in altitude, visual altitude profiles, itinerary landmarks, free and paid camping sites, estancias. The book describes the major hiking trails in the park around the famous Perito Moreno Glacier, and how to get here by bus or rented car, but also 16 additional less-known trails and less crowded, half-day, full-day and multi-day hikes - among them: Lago Roca hikes, Los Baguales hike, Cerro de los Cristales hike, Estancia la Usina hikes, Estancia Cristina hikes, Punta Walichu Caves with Paleolithic 4,000 years old paintings in sandstone rock from ancient Patagonian aborigine tribes of Tehuelche people, Laguna Nimez hikes in the birds nature reserve with flamingo rookery. I also give information on the El Calafate, and El Chalt?n cities, camping sites, grocery shops, banks, bus stations, bus routes and companies, then the park info, rules and prices, how to get here by bus or plane, and how to hike safely in Patagonia, art and skills in surviving harsh Patagonian conditions, especially in the Andes region, as a hiker. This collection of hiking maps is in color printed on high quality paper in a compact 6x9 in (15.2x22.8 cm), lightweight, robustly made book format, which can fit into any backpack and be easily used while you are hiking and or during planning, researching your hikes. The book can be equally useful for "budget" adventure seekers, solo, group travelers, in "fast & easy" style with a rented car, campers or travel agency users as well as for paid wildlife, travel or landscape photographers on a mission, digital nomads. I hope the book will be a good "practical tool", while you are exploring the world with responsible mind and open heart as a truly nature lover.
