About This Book

Een reiziger schetst de aankomst aan de Pacifische kust bij Punta Arenas, de omringende bergen, tropische flora en fauna en de gemengde samenstelling van de bevolking. Hij beschrijft de moeilijke verbindingen naar de hoogvlakte en de hoofdstad San José, stadswandelingen, lokale instellingen en een theater zonder toneelspelers, en observeert de aanwezigheid van buitenlandse gemeenschappen en de culturele belangstelling voor de Franse taal. Veel aandacht gaat naar onbegaanbare wegen en de moeizame aanleg van een spoorlijn die beide oceanen moet verbinden, en naar het contrast tussen traditionele leefwijzen en aankomende modernisering.
