'[The] contents of this book provide a different view of the real Patagonia via one of its more interesting parts -- the border between two nations -- and is presented in an agreeable style in a cultured but simple language, whose reading we recommend with particular pleasure.'--Mateo Martinic B. Emeritus Professor. Research Centre for Studies of the Southern Man, Patagonian Institute, University of Magallanes, Chile
Jon Burrough's love affair with South America started over forty years ago when he explored the continent with a tape recorder, four bottles of whisky for emergencies, and the 50 pounds sterling which Harold Wilson's government then permitted travellers to take abroad. Since then he has travelled extensively in Colombia and Peru as well as in Patagonia.
