Brazil at 1:4, 200, 000 in a series of Adventure maps from the National Geographic Society with cartography provided by Reise Know-How.

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.
