Author Description

There is not a lot of change on this latest edition of our ITM map of Patagonia. Argentina is undergoing an economic slump and developments have slowed down. The all weather road network in southern Argentina experienced a significant growth rate under the previous administration, so it is much easier to get around than in the past, but further improvements will have to await improved fiscal resources within the country. Much of Hwy 40 is now paved, to the relief of bus drivers, and the highway between Calafete and Ushuaia is now paved. The airports at both cities now meet international standards. This map has a new ISBN, as we have used up all the numbers from our old prefix and want to retire those numbers as titles come up for renewal.
