(More customer reviews)Good information, recommendations were surprisingly accurate and useful. Compared to LP or Rough Guide, the Chile Footprint seems to be written more for diverse travelers looking to mix cheap with moderate prices, exactly my type of traveler. Example: Book includes good reviews of budget hostels in Pucon, but also doesn't show fear for making recommendations that cost a bit more. The top recommended guide up Volcan Villarica (Paredon, great guides!), was not the cheapest, but they gave us the best experience. We used the guide for travel in Santiago and the Lake District and found it helped navigate places to stay and eat. Wished it included a detailed map supplement, but otherwise the maps worked in a pinch for finding major waypoints.
Note: This is a hardback book, but the size and weight is similar if not smaller than the comparable LP guide. The hardback actually makes the book more usable as you can open the book wide. Did not find this a hindrance at all while traveling.
Spent a long time finding a good guide book for countries in South America, and I can honestly say I was satisfied (with a great sigh of relief) that Footprint appears to be the answer moving forward. Highly recommended.
