This review is from: Cuzco Region of Peru - Machu Picchu Map by ITMB (Travel Reference Map) (Map)

We bought this map thinking it would help us navigate around town (Cusco) and Machu Picchu, since it is pictured on the cover. Not so much. It seems ok for long distance stuff and maybe if you are driving on your own, not so much for walking. For our needs, it was almost worthless.

Like one reviewer's already said, this is a large scale map--excellent for extensive travel throughout a region. If you just want something for navigating streets in the metro areas, get a guide book instead.

This review is from: Cuzco Region of Peru - Machu Picchu Map by ITMB (Travel Reference Map) (Map)

Although I haven't used this particular map yet, I can say from experience ITMB maps are amongst the best out there, at least for anyone using a vehicle (Michelins are also really good). I rely on these maps constantly and they haven't let me down yet. Just enough detail without being cluttered, easy to read when on the road, not confusing and easy to stay on track and not get lost. From having used their Costa Rica map amongst others, I can confidently say all the driveable roads (and impassable ones) and signs to the various towns will be clearly indicated. I have a 2 week Machu Picchu trip planned for September and will be flying to Cuzco, renting a car and driving throughout the region (I know you can't drive to Machu Picchu). I'll get a town map at the rental counter, that will work fine, and with a good book on the area, I'll find everything without any problems.

This map covers all the area I will be visiting perfectly. I bought the Peru map and realized it wouldn't be much use unless I was going to try to navigate a road trip to Lima (maps 2 go took it back no questions asked). Also, do yourself a favor, don't rely on a GPS, you'll look like a jackass if you can't get a signal, the unit dies for some reason, or you get false and/or no directions and you're in the middle of nowhere. If you're doing what I'm doing, don't leave home without it.
