Brazil at 1:4, 200, 000 in a series of Adventure maps from the National Geographic Society with cartography provided by Reise Know-How. The map is double-sided & printed on light waterproof & tear-resistant plastic paper. The map divides the country west/east, with the whole of the Brazilian Amazon Basin on one side & on the reverse the country south of the mouth of the Amazon & eastwards from Mato Grosso, with a generous overlap between the two sides. Coverage

Includes:: the whole of Paraguay, most of Bolivia with La Paz, Cochabamba & Oruro, north-eastern Peru with Iquitos & south-eastern with Cusco & Arequipa. Cartographic information provided by Reise Know-How has been adjusted to follow the house style of the NGS Adventure series with greater emphasis on the country’s topography. Altitude colouring in broader bands has been replaced here by contours at 200m intervals. Boundaries of national parks & other protected areas are very prominently highlighted. Road network indicates unsurfaced sections,

Includes:: local tracks, & gives driving distances on main & secondary roads. Railway lines are included & local airports are marked. Internal administrative boundaries are shown with names of the states. Symbols highlight various places of interest, including archaeological remains, viewpoints, thermal spas, etc. The map has a grid with latitude & longitude at intervals of 2º & an index of localities. Overall, the smaller scale of the NGS map & particularly the less varied presentation & colouring of the road network make the original Reise Know-How edition far clearer than the NGS map.PLEASE NOTE: to ensure regular supplies & faster delivery to our customers we keep as regular stock the Reise Know-How edition whilst the NGS version can be ordered on request.
