Details
One of the titles in a series of handy format, light, laminated and waterproof concertina maps covering the most visited parts of Argentina, presenting a selection of tourist road maps, trekking suggestions, and street plans. The road maps in these titles do not aim to provide a detailed picture of the region’s road network, but are designed to highlight interesting routes or main tourist attractions.
Similarly, the more detailed maps of hiking areas provide just the basic indication of the topography, with very general altitude colouring, spot heights for main peaks, plus rivers and lakes, and show access roads, refuges, campsites and other accommodation facilities, viewpoints, and recommended hiking routes. The street plans show the town centres with main hotels, places of interest, bus terminals, petrol stations, etc. The maps have no geographical coordinates. Map legends are in Spanish. Some titles also include useful contact details.
In this title there are eight different maps covering the border areas of Patagonia:
- an overview map at 1:860,000 of the Argentinian side of the Andes, centred on San Carlos de Bariloche and extending north across San Martín de los Andes to Las Lajas and south to Lago Vintter
- enlargements at 1:160,000 for the areas around El Boston and Cholila, plus at 1:100,000 of the southern shore of Lake Nahuel Huapi
- overview map of the Paso Cardenal Antonio Samore with roads leading from San Carlos de Bariloche to the Chilean side
- street plans of San Carlos de Bariloche, San Martín de los Andes and Villa la Angostura
