Fra ITM: The capital if Chile dominates the country. As locals, tell it, Santiago IS Chile; modern, cosmopolitan, and the main entry point for most visitors to Chile. The central banking and shopping district is well-served by four separate rapid transit lines and the map includes such attractions as parks, the railway station, the funicular, and the gondola ride. The reverse side of the map is an innovation for this title. The northern half of Chile is shown in two detailed portion maps, side by side. The far north, from the Peruvian border near Arica to Vina el Mar is shown on the first map, along with all crossings into neighbouring countries. The other map continues south from Vina del Mar/ Valparaiso to well south of Puerto Mont. This map would include Santiago, Talca, Concepcion, Temuco, and the Austral Highway as far south as Cochrane, which is close to the famous Laguna San Rafael National Park and its ice fields. Truly, a useful map!

The Andes mountain chain is the southern extension of the Sierra Nevada chain through Mexico and Central America, which is, in turn the southern extension of the Rocky Mountain chain from Alaska to the Mexican border. The Andes is a magnificent series of high mountains that enters Colombia and spreads southwards through Ecuador and Peru all the way to southern Patagonia. 

The map is double-sided, with the Northern Andes on one side and the other side divided into two side-by-side maps portraying the Central Andes and the Southern Andes. Thus, the map coverage focuses on the Andes themselves, rather than on all of South America. All of Colombia and Peru are shown, most of Bolivia, all of Chile, and the Patagonian portion of Argentina except for the southern portion of Tierra del Fuego. The importance of this map is that it focuses on the highland areas of the continent, where much of the population lives. Bogota, Medellin, Quito, Lima, Arequipa, La Paz, Santiago, Talca, and Punta Arenas are all located along the spine of the Andes. So are the Torres del Paine peaks, the Montt Glacier, and numerous volcanoes, touristic sites, and twisting mountain roads.

4th edition 2015. Easter Island is so isolated that it is not certain whether it is part of Polynesia or an off-shoot of South America. Geologically, it is neither; just a volcanic lump in the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean. Its original inhabitants probably came from Polynesia; since supplanted by migrants from Chile, which is the political authority governing the island. Regardless, it is an intriguing place, famous for the Maoi – giant heads originally raised to protect family holdings. These huge, mysterious heads rest in various locations on the island and are one of the wonders of the world.

This map also includes a detailed map of Santiago de Chile, the capital of Chile, for the simple reason that all flights to Easter Island originate in that city, so everyone going to Easter Island needs a map of Santiago as well. This usage is merely for the convenience of visitors going to Easter Island.

4th edition 2019. Folded map of Chile in scale 1:1.770.000. It is printed on durable waterproof paper. Inset maps of Santiago, Easter Island, Robinson Crusoe Island. 

Chile is a very long, thin country, so is best portrayed in a series of three strip maps. This enables a scale that expands information while retaining ease of use. Printed on durable plastic paper, the ITMB map is hardy enough to stand up to any trip. The map also includes inset maps of central Santiago, Santiago region, Santiago transit, Easter Island, and Robinson Crusoe Island (Alexander Selkirk was the unfortunate real-life castaway immortalized in Robert Louis Stevenson’s marvelous fictional account of Robinson Crusoe).
