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.

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 is a good map. However, you do not need to purchase it. If you hike in Torres you will be required to go to a meeting with the rangers to discuss safety and rules. They will give you a completely adequate and useful map at that meeting, for free. So buy it if you like maps, or maybe want to do a little pre-planning at home, but you won't be needing it in the park.

I happen to love maps and this topo map proved very useful on a recent trip to the Torres del Paine. Despite contstant use, the map did not tear and I didnt have to worry about damage by fluids. Contours and shaded relief made it easy to identify location. Definitely recommend the map for even the casual day-hiker in the Torres del paine.

The map is great quality and good size, however it is light on names and information about trails, times and distance. Then entire back of the map is blank. Reference and ledgend information could have been added.

This is a fine map - robust, effectively water-proofed and sufficiently detailed for even the most intrepid of trekkers. Happy trekking.

We're using this map now to plan a Patagonia trip next year. I wish I had 1:24000 scale maps to supplement this overview. A 1:80K map with 100 meter contours leaves a lot to the imagination. However it is very helpful supplenet to a good guidebook like the Lonely Planet Patagonian Andes book.
Thank you for your feedback.
