Additional information

This is a book 5 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 seasons. The book contains 7 detailed hiking maps, 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, river fording. The book describes 15 major hiking trails in the park around the famous Fitz Roy and Torre mounts, but also additional less-known trails and less crowded multi-day hikes and trekking - among them: Laguna Túnel o Toro, Túnel Superior Hikes, Bahia de Hornos, de Los Tempanos Hikes. I also give information on the El Chaltén and El Calafate cities, camping sites, grocery shops, banks, bus stations, bus routes and companies, how to get here by bus or plane, then the park info, rules and prices, 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.
