Details
One of the titles in an extensive series of maps at varying scales, covering popular destinations in Argentina and Chile, including both countries’ main trekking areas. Most maps have a satellite image as their base, supplemented by information derived from various sources such as national surveys: contours, spot heights, vegetation and snow cover, roads and tracks, campsites and huts, etc. The maps have a UTM grid (WGS84) and/or latitude and longitude lines. Unless indicated in the individual description, map legend is in Spanish only. Sheet sizes vary, typical size is 41x60cm.
In this title: the map is centred on the Cerro Rico (5400m) on the east side of the Aconcagua peak and covers an area measuring approx. 38km east-west and 54km north-south, including the cross-border road and the settlements of Punta de Vacas, Los Penitentes, Puenta del Inca in Argentina and Portillo in Chile. The map has contours at 25m intervals, hill shading and spot heights for peaks. Colours denote landscape variations e.g. glaciers, moraine and low vegetation, and symbols show camps and huts. Latitude and longitude lines are drawn at 2’ intervals, and UTM intersections and margin ticks are at 4km intervals. Map legend is in English.
Area covered: South 32º26’ to 32º55’ - West 69º44’ to just beyond 70º08’
