The countless islands, channels, inlets, glaciers and coves sited along the 2,400-mile stretch of coast between Valdivia (Chile) and Mar del Plata (Argentina) can satisfy the thirst for discovery of even the most curious navigator. The landmarks found on the charts bear names of mythical propensities: Cape Horn, Tierra del Fuego, Patagonia, Magellan Strait, Península Valdes and Le Maire Strait.

A world of stunning beauty with the imposing backdrop of the Andes will be the sailor's constant companion. But the real surprises will be provided by the great variety of landscapes, the wilderness which remains very much as it was, when first seen by man, the numerous species of plants and animals, and the people themselves, whose natural sense of solidarity has been further strengthened by the great loneliness and harsh climate of the region.

The book Patagonia & Tierra del Fuego (720 pages) is divided into two sections.

The first contains subjects of general interest such as flora, fauna, geology, history and heritage.

The second section is strictly nautical and is the result of eight years experience in sailing these waters. The authors have selected and personally tested over 400 anchorages - all noted with accurate descriptions and drawings so as to provide the necessary information for a safe navigation. Moreover, this section is improved by the inclusion of notes regarding meteorology, radio frequencies, yacht preparation, rules of navigating and information about Chile and Argentina.

The pilot guide includes:

- 423 items with anchorages, coves and

harbours

- 407 general and detailed charts

- 150 drawings and historical pictures

- 93 colour prints
