5.0 out of 5 stars Torres del Paine trekking map, January 13, 2007

By	Elizabeth Scott (Tucson, AZ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This was the best of the maps for the Parque Nacional that I saw while there. Good detail of the terrain, but would have liked more consistent information on trail distances in km. Distances are recorded in hours it takes to hike each segment, which is a standard that the other maps of the park use. However, the times given were a good estimate of the time it takes to hike each part of the trail. What isn't clear from any of the maps is the difficulty or rough conditions of many of the trails. In general, trekking in the park is moderately challenging, but the condition of many of the trails (rocky, steep, and/or highly eroded in places) makes it more so.

4.0 out of 5 stars Trekking map, August 8, 2006

By	50's traveller "Tricia" (Australia) - See all my reviews

This is just what I needed. The paths are clearly marked as are the camp sites and contour lines. Some of the print is very small and sometimes blends in too much with the background colour, but you will be able to work it out. All walks are also given an approximate walking time which really helps give an idea of the terrain before you go there.

This map is enormous. Don't expect to take it with you. Kind of a waste of money, even though it's fun to look at before you go. I'm sure there is a smaller one you can get at the park.
