Kundenrezensionen
Ratings for the treks are somewhat arbitrary; one trek rated "easy" was actually quite rough, and the second half of the route had been closed for over a year (prior to the book's publication date -- a real boo-boo). Another trek rated "hard" was actually not as challenging as advertised. However, the details of the route descriptions are usually spot-on and very helpful. Most wonderful are the maps, which experienced trekkers actually CAN use in place of a topo (despite how foolish this sounds) in many cases.
The photographs are wonderful, and also give an accurate and beautiful rendering of the region's charms. I'd describe them as "trekking porn," they're so luscious.
The information on base towns is good but incomplete, and I would strongly recommend purchasing Wayne Bernhardson's Lonely Planet guide to Chile as an accompaniment.
In contrast, the Bradt book on backpacking in Argentina and Chile is almost worthless compared to Lindemayer's careful descriptions and research, and LP's superb regional maps.

The book isn`t bad, don`t get me wrong. But when I bought it in December 2009, I sort of thought, "new" meant also more or less up to date. But the book was published in 2003, and its completely outdated. Better spend money on the new edition!!! I'm sitting in Argentina as I'm writing this, so I actually wanted to travel with this book,but the information is so completely inaccurate, it only gives you a vague idea of what options you have. Travel distances and routes are different,prices much,much higher and some Refugios were built while others don't exist anymore. Go buy then new edition!!
the Patagonian Andes. Intelligently laid out with very
well-researched maps and local information, it also manages to give a
comprehensive overview of what each area has to offer, without being
exhaustive. It gives you just enough information to get you out there
and discovering on your own. The book does have a few weaknesses --
notably, there are flat-out errors in some of the specific route
descriptions or instructions -- that make it far better-suited to
those who feel comfortable fending for themselves in the wild, and who
don't try and use the book as a substitute for human guides. In
short, if you feel comfortable traveling independently in remote
areas, it's not a problem. If that scares you ... perhaps you should
use the book as a primer and then hire a guide or go with a guided
group.

in Chile and I would strongly recommend it. The maps
can be used in lieu of topo maps (I would recommend
topos of course, but you can only get them in Santiago
and Buenos Aires) and the descriptions are remarkably
spot on. I've used dozens of backpacking guides (and
biking, climbing, ... guides) and there are invariably
inaccuracies or route descriptions that don't quite seem
to match. However, this book had fewer of such infelicities
than any guidebook I've used. Kudos to Lindemayer.
In addition, the "other treks" sections of the book
proved invaluable. After our first few weeks, we
realized we really wanted to get off the beaten track
and these little 1-3 paragraph route descriptions gave
us all we needed to track down information on beautiful,
rewarding, and untramelled hikes throughout Patagonia.
Lindemayer clearly has an explorer's impulse and a near
encyclopedic knowledge of the area.
Only caveat: if you're just going to Torres del Paine
and/or Los Glaciares you really don't need any guidebook;
the commonly available maps and steady streams of backpackers
on the trail will keep you well informed.
The best use of this book is as an introduction/inspiration, then get hold of decent military maps (plentiful in santiago and buenos aires) and local advice (abundant) and go from there. Given that many of the treks require some degree of independence and judgement (especially in snow-bound regions), pretty much any information should be taken with a grain of salt and certainly should be double-checked independantly or at worst against common sense. It is a pity no better alternative exists, but the general information is good and if prepared, leave the fun of route-finding up to yourself.
