This detailed, full color Topographic Atlas represents the full area of the famous Torres del Paine National Park in Chilean Patagonia. Access to trails, availability of camping areas and special requirements such as obligatory walking direction on some sections, all have been updated for this edition according to the official 2017 regulations. The atlas maps show the full area of the park with access roads and adjacent areas, with alternative paths, camp sites (color-coded according to the managing company), location of bus stops & park rangers' posts, all in large scale detail. Terrain relief elevation contours are drawn every 20 meters.The map scale of 1:50000 (1 cm = 500 meters) provides a wealth of detail while keeping low the weight of the atlas itself. The large page format of 8.5x11in minimizes page count and along with the overlapping map design allows for comfortable navigation. The details included in the topographic maps of this Atlas were specifically selected to be useful for trekkers, hikers and walkers of all interests, and make it easy to plan and enjoy both short excursions and hikes as well as long multi-day adventures along the main marked routes and/or adjacent trails and paths, which are also shown on the maps.
