To celebrate the 90th anniversary of Footprint's South American Handbook we pick the most fascinating extracts from editions across the decades
Winner of a 2014 Wanderlust Outstanding Achievement Award, The South American Handbook published by Footprint Travel Guides, is 90 years old this year. To mark the occasion, the Footprint team have released a facsimile of the very first edition, published in 1924.
Filled with insights into 20th century travel, scattered with wonderfully archaic prose and delightfully outdated advice, the very first handbook includes information for explorers and globetrotting businessmen and features beautiful adverts from the period.
