Peru itmb Travel Map

Peru Travel Reference Map same 5th Ed. 2011 Reprinted – no changes in ISBN or price. Peru is another example of just printing too few copies at a time of rising market interest. As hard as one tries to gauge market demand, there are always little surprises; in this case, a pleasant one. The printing earlier this year sold through much more quickly than expected. We reviewed the artwork, as we always do at the end of a print run, and decided to reprint as there were no noticable errors or changes. Enjoy!

Peru at 1:1,500,000 on a double-sided, waterproof and tear-resistant, indexed map from ITMB, with large, clear street plans of central Lima and Cusco, highlighting accommodation, places of interest and various facilities.

The map divides the country north/south, approximately along the line between the Cordillera Blanca and Cordillera Huyahuash, with very little overlap between the two sides. Topography is very effectively presented by altitude colouring, with spot heights and additional graphics for swamps and marshland, glaciers and volcanos.

The map shows the country’s road network distinguishing between all-weather and seasonable roads and indicates driving distances on main routes. Railway lines, including the popular routes linking Cusco with Puno and Arequipa, are very clearly shown. The map also shows local airports and airstrips, as well as internal administrative boundaries with names of the provinces.

National parks are highlighted and symbols indicate various other places of interest, including the country archaeological sites. Latitude and longitude lines are drawn at intervals of 1°. Each side has a separate index of localities.

Also included are very clear street plans of central Lima and Cusco highlighting selected accommodation, supermarkets, various institutions and places of interest, etc.
