Description
Sara Wheeler's account of a six-month odyssey through Chile is a fascinating and humorous journey from the driest desert in the world to the southernmost tip of South America. With two carpetbags as her only companions, she travels 2,600 miles along the country's long and narrow spine.
From Christmas Day at 13,000 feet with a llama sandwich, to a sex hotel in Santiago and a trip round Cape Horn delivering a coffin, Wheeler's story is full of unexpected encounters and surprising experiences. With her sharp wit and astute observations, she brings this often-overlooked country to life.
This engaging travelogue confirms Wheeler's place among today's leading travel writers, offering a unique perspective on Chile's diverse landscapes and cultures.
