Buying maps of Chile, road and topographical
Hello again,
If you are in Santiago and are looking for maps then this shop seems to have a great selection.
Paisajes del Chile
Also, if any of you need good quality topographical maps then the Insituto geografico Militar sells a good range of scales 1:500,000 down to an excellent 1:50,000 (in case any of you get off your bikes and go for a stroll )
The IGM website is here - igm.cl
Their maps are approx $10,000 CP each. As for buying them, you go on the metro to the stop Toesca, street Dieciocho 369 (it is called Salon de Ventas – sales room – and is a different address to the main IGM). They are open Monday to Friday, 8.30am – 5,30pm. They have a phone number so you can see if you map is available – 02 4109463, you will need to speak Spanish of course.
if you need any help phoning ahead or working out how to get there drop us a line.
And now a shameless plug for the whole article on my blog
