The Pantanal of Brazil, Bolivia and Paraguay is South America's Serengeti: its wetlands are the largest on earth (they're half the size of France) and, in the dry season, crocodiles and storks jostle to gobble the last of the dying fish. Here, the continent's largest cat, the jaguar, lives alongside giant otters, anacondas and the world's largest parrot. A comprehensive introduction to the best place to watch wildlife in South America, and beautifully illustrated throughout, Bradt's Pantanal Wildlife is the only portable book to cover all the main wildlife groups while focussing exclusively on the Pantanal.

Bradt's fully illustrated wildlife guides focus on regions of the world particularly celebrated for their amazing and often unique species. With spectacular photography or exclusive watercolour drawings throughout, each visitors' guide provides an introduction to the region's principal flora and fauna alongside suggested wildlife itineraries, practical information on when to go and what to take and photography tips. Written in a deliberately engaging way, they offer something different from dry field guides, and will appeal to the interested layman as much as the wildlife devotee.

South America is a land of superlatives. Home to the world’s longest mountain range, tallest waterfall, largest rainforest, driest desert, widest river and highest lake, it astounds with its variety. Now published by Bradt Guides, the award-winning, legendary South American Handbook holds a world record of its own as the longest-running English-language travel guidebook. This brand new, fully updated 95th edition celebrates the centenary of the Handbook, which remains as essential for travellers to South America today as it was in the 1920s.

Embark on extraordinary journeys through the breathtaking landscapes and vibrant cultures of this amazing continent, where every corner tells of ancient civilisations or natural wonders. Wherever you travel, South America will uplift your senses – from the tropical sun rising over a palm-fringed beach to a bracing wind blowing off Andean salt pans, from tango in downtown Buenos Aires to the culinary symphony of modern Peruvian cuisine, and from Easter Island’s mysterious Moai statues to mainland Chile’s majestic glaciers.

Wander through the cobbled streets of historic Cusco, echoes of the Inca Empire resonating in every stone. Feel the rhythm of life in the sultry beats of Rio de Janeiro’s carnival, where samba and colour take centre stage. Or explore the wonders of the Galápagos Islands, where nature unfolds in its purest form, revealing a paradise teeming with unique flora and fauna. Whatever South America inspires you to do, you will find that there is no limit to the passion that it fires within you.

In this era of countless websites which bring images and information from every barrio and pueblito, the South American Handbook advises on how to navigate between each place, big or small, in every country. It is your key to a treasure trove of diverse landscapes, rich tapestry of cultures and hospitable peoples – and a celebration of the spirit of adventure and independence that characterises travel in the world’s greatest continent. Drawing on the expertise of correspondents in the region and travellers’ experiences, this centenary edition of the Handbook provides the thread from Acandi to Ushuaia and everywhere you may wish to stop off in between.

'This book will show you how to bring back your own memories of the flavours and aromas of South America.

Recipes are interspersed with culinary history, tips and tales from the road, all designed to cast the dishes in the context of a continent overflowing with irresistible temptations, from the versatility of the corn kernel to the coolest cocktail.'Join Ben in his tour of one of the world's most gastronomically exciting areas as he presents his favourite recipes country by country, from Venezuela and the Guianas in the north down to Argentina. His selection includes iconic South American dishes and drinks, ingredients from the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, from the Amazon and the Andes, sizzling street food, tried and tested practical recipes, different gastronomic trends, and details of how to make arepas, chimichurri, caipirinha, pepper pot and other South American favourites.
