Books
Patagonia
My top pick on true adventure, climbing, and weather in this region is
Title: The springs of enchantment : climbing and exploration in Patagonia
Author: Earle, John
Publisher: London : Hodder and Stoughton, 1981
I borrowed one from the American Alpine Club Library
Movies
National Geographic's Puma: Lion of the Andes (1997)
Filmed in Torres Del Paine National Park. I attribute it as the single most piece
of material that got me motavated enough to going to Chile.
