Best maps for Argentina & Chile

[5 Eyes]

does any one have an opinion on what the best maps for argentina and chile are ? . ordinary maps now , not gps maps

When you get to Argentina, go to a magazine stand and look for the "Atlas de Rutas", put out by Firestone. It's as big as a thick magazine, but you won't be disappointed.

YPF has also nice books with more info. But you can never go bad with the firestone one, although it is more difficult to find. Check Karin's write-up for more info on maps.

Adventurous greetings,

I bought a laminated folding map on amazon.com for about $14 hand-delivered to my door. I toured by motorcycle in Argentina for 3 weeks in Sept/Oct 2009 and found it very useful.

I second the Firestone atlas. I was also told that Toyota puts out something similar, but I was never able to find that one.

If you have a Garmin GPS I strongly recommend www.proyectomapear.com.ar

Good luck

You can buy in a YPF petrol station too, it costs $35,00 (argentinian pesos).
It´s called:
Atlas de Rutas (Argentina, Bolivia, Sur de Brasil, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay) - Firestone.

It´s published by:
Megamapa

Have a nice ride,
