My daughter and husband just went on a mission trip to Peru and they went to a tiny mountain village that most people have not heard of....but it was on this map! Very detailed and lined with a waterproof coating, it has been well used and is surviving well. My boys and I tracked their trip from home, learning a little about every town they stopped at and how to track elevation on a map. Great little map, the 'adventure line' has more details than the other maps, I will be buying more of these.
Durable map - Waterproof and tear resistant map that will withstand a lot of wear and tear.One side of the map is the coast of Peru and the other side is thePeru desert and jungle.It highlights the main cities.Tourists highlights are indicated in redMuseums, ruins, National Parks etc.Easy to read.
Map is nice but be aware everything is in Spanish.
Very detailed, including many small communities. Material is also very nice quality. My only gripe is that they include two photographs over parts of the map. Technically they do not cover up anywhere in Peru, just adjacent areas in Ecuador and Colombia, but I find it a very poor decision to omit any potentially useful section of map for an unnecessary image. A serious cartographic faux pas.
Most of the map is index and ocean, only lesser prominent are the giant pictures flowers and sand dunes and frogs, I would suggest inset city maps instead. The so-called adventure map is great material, it's Nat Geo, so I know the roads are accurate and the scale is good, but I feel a little ripped off by all the wasted paper and useless pictures...it is not worth the weight in the pack.
This is my favorite map from this series. I look at it often and will be bringing it with me on my trip. Let my friend borrow it for a school project and it turned out to very useful. It doesn't show all the archaeological sites, but it shows the major ones. Wish there was a more detailed index map of the Sacred Valley, and Inca Trail, which is the area I will be visiting, but it will do. Discovered some cool places in northern Peru thanks to it. Also includes 80% of Ecuador. Wish it showed more ruins though.
No doubt, best adventure map in the market. Nice finishing and very detailed... I will use it next january in my moto trip to Peru.
I would give it a higher rating if it would show more detail. I like that is tear, and water resistant.
