Great guide for Santiago and environs
Used this book alone for week in Santiago and that general area. This book was far superior to any other I found, for it's Santiago coverage, also Valparaiso and Vina del Mar. Unfortunately, there don't seem to be books available (in English, at least) that focus on Santiago, as there are for Buenos Aires. While we might have wanted a bit more detail about neighborhoods and culture in Santiago, this book served it's purpose very well. Found all the addresses and other information to be pretty accurate.

Terrible Maps
The actual writing in the book is fine. However, the maps are terrible. This book is written for older, wealthy, travelers who can't see that well.

Therefore, they make the maps large but are very, very, incomplete. You can't use them at all. I'm not a big fan of Lonely Planet, but their maps are great.

Excellent Travel Guide
I purchased this book for my clients planning a trip to Chile. They said it answered all their questions and more. It is an excellent guide with very pertinent information for the first-time traveler to Chile.
