Patagonia National Park: Chile is a beautiful book brimming with stunning photography. It is a book you could spend hours browsing through enjoying the breath taking scenery and amazing wildlife. Plenty of information about the national park and is history is included and you will definitely be dreaming of going there. A wonderful coffee table or gift book.

**Thanks to NetGalley and Patagonia for sending this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.**

This book is nothing short of breathtaking. Mostly a coffee table book consisting of photographs of the Patagonia region of Chile, it certainly does it's job of prodding the traveler/adventurer in me.

Between the mesmerizing photos, is sprinkled in history and stories of how the Patagonia National Park came to be, the work it took to make it happen.

If you have any interest in Chile, Argentina, the Patagonia region, or simply enjoy history or beautiful places, this is a great place to start.

This is a quick book to flip through but one you can savor for a long time. Largely a pictorial history of the Patagonia National Park in Chile, it describes the founding (largely a passion project of wealthy and caring foreign eco-entrepreneurs) of the park and the natural environment: geology, flora, and fauna. It is visually spectacular and inspirational and can be revisited multiple times to relish the superb photography. One flaw, but a real one for me, was the lack of picture captions, at least in the ARC I received from NetGalley. Captions would have dramatically increased my enjoyment of the book. Still, well worth perusing at length and leisure.
