About the Author

Tim Burford studied languages at Oxford University. In 1991, after a brief career as a publisher, he began writing for Bradt, first covering hiking in eastern-central Europe, then backpacking and eco-tourism in Latin America, particularly Chile and Argentina. He researched and wrote the first edi-tion of the Bradt guide to Uruguay in 2009, followed by its second edition, and has now written nine original books for Bradt plus multiple updates. He also leads hiking trips in Europe's moun-tains and blogs at unraveltravel.org. He lives in Cambridge, loves train travel in Europe and flies only across oceans and as rarely as possible.
