Reviews

'Bradt Guides are the favourites of travellers who wish not merely to see but to understand.' Dervla Murphy 'Bradt guides take you to the farthest corners of every country and are written in an opinionated, pleasing to read manner that make the books as much as a novel as guide. The Argentina book is no different with a plethora of long, narrative passages and fine background information.' Suite101.com
