Chile at 1:1, 750, 000 in a series of Adventure maps from the National Geographic Society with cartography provided by Reise Know-How.

The two central panels also provide good coverage of the Argentinian Andes, whilst the southern panel (southwards from approx. 46º) extends to all the way to the Atlantic to cover southern Patagonia. 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, enhanced by relief shading with graphics for salt flats, glaciers & names of mountain ranges, peaks, etc. Boundaries of national parks & other protected areas are very prominently highlighted. Road network distinguishes between paved & unsurfaced roads &

Includes:: selected tracks. Driving distances are shown on main & selected secondary roads & border crossings are marked.
