Frommer's Chile & Easter Island

We are planning a trip to Chile and the information in this guide nicely compliments our other guide to Chile by Insight Guide. We recommend both; one is great for pictures and the Frommer's Guide is packed with valuable travel recommendations.

Best Chile guidebook

I just went guidebook hunting at the local bookstore, and I settled on Frommer's Chile & Easter Island.. It's the most recently updated, and that makes a big difference. Santiago is in the midst of finishing (and beginning) some very big infrastructure projects. For example, Santiago has a new modern (but very confusing) bus system, and the metro more than doubled in miles over the past year. This Frommers guide has a great color map with metro stops in the front cover. The info in the Lonely Planet and other guidebooks is a couple years old. Plus the Frommers book seems to have the best information about private tour operators. Other bonuses include a chapter on Ushuaia, Argentina.
