Brazil at 1:3,850,000 on an indexed, waterproof and tear-resistant road map with topographic and tourist information, published by Reise Know-How as part of their highly acclaimed World Mapping Project, The map is double-sided to provide the best balance between a good scale and a convenient size sheet. 

The map divides the country west/east, with the whole of the Brazilian Amazon Basin on one side and on the reverse the country south of the mouth of the Amazon and eastwards from Mato Grosso, with a generous overlap between the two sides. Coverage includes the whole of Paraguay, most of Bolivia with La Paz, Cochabamba and Oruro, and Peru north-eastern with Iquitos and south-eastern with Cusco and Arequipa.

Topography is shown by altitude colouring with contours and spot heights, graphics for swamps and salt pans, plus names of hill and mountain ranges, etc. Numerous tributaries of the Amazon, including many smaller rivers not directly flowing into it, are named. The map also shows boundaries of national parks and other protected area, plus numerous Indian reservations.

Road network indicates unsurfaced sections, includes local tracks, and gives driving distances on main and secondary roads. Railway lines are included and local airports are marked. Internal administrative boundaries are shown with names of the states. Symbols highlight various places of interest, including archaeological remains, viewpoints, thermal spas, etc. The map has a grid with latitude and longitude at intervals of 2º and an index of localities. Map legend includes English.

Brazil, or more properly, Brasil, is a difficult country to map as a country, in that most of the developed areas are in the relatively small extreme south of the country. The vast region of the Amazon Basin is lightly populated and is not easy to access. Our solution has been to portray the south portion on one side at a detailed scale, to enable such locations as Rio and Sao Paulo a better scale to help travellers, while mapping the north at a respectable but more limited scale on the That said, one still needs both sides of the map, as Brasilia, the capital, falls on the north side other side of the sheet. I should also note that roads north of Brasilia tend to be less well-paved than those in the south.

The shape of the country also presents mapping difficulties, in that little room is available for inset maps. We have been able to include a good inset of central Rio, but visitors to Brasil would be well-advised to take along ITM maps of Rio and Sao Paulo for an enjoyable exploration. The map is printed on waterproof paper, both for durability and because of the humid climate, and includes a list of the top attractions.

ITM har kart over hele verden og de spesialiserer seg på land litt utenfor allfarvei. Beliggenheten til landets nasjonalparker, historiske monumenter, de viktigste veiene o.L. Finner du inkludert i kartene. Samtlige landkart har ofte et bykart over hovedstaden.

Fra ITM: Sao Paulo is Brasil’s second-largest city and most vibrant area. The Centro, or downtown area, is quite compact, and consists of two pedestrian areas separated by a large park. The street pattern is much better arranged than in Rio, and the city has a sensible subway network. The Cathedral is the largest in Latin America, and nearby is one of the oldest churches, dating from 1644. The other side of the sheet is the real value of this map. Brasil is a very large country, with much of its road network concentrated in the heavily-populated far south. Thus, a map of the entire country reduces usability. We have added a proper map of the southern third of Brasil, from the Uruguayan border north to Brasilia and from the Argentinian border eastwards to east of Rio. This map includes most of the largest cities in Brasil, Rio, Sao Paulo, Belo Horizonte, Brasilia, Curitiba, and Puerto Alegre. An inset of Rio is included.
