Product Description

National Geographic designed the waterproof Panama Adventure Map to be essential travel gear for the serious traveler and also your perfect trip-planning reference. It's tear-resistant and incredibly durable; it won't fray or disintegrate no matter what environment you take it into. It includes the most detailed and best road information available, letting you drive with confidence. Protected areas are designed to "pop" visually so it's easy to locate them and refer to their boundaries as you get around the country. No other commercially-available travel map shows more clearly the locations of national parks, wildlife reserves, wetlands, and forest reserves. The stunning shaded relief you expect from National Geographic elevates this map into its own category. This map includes an inset map of downtown Panama City and one of Casco Viejo (San Felipe). There's a detailed map of the Panama Canal area, showing the locks and the canal's proximity to Panama City. The Panama Adventure Map is bilingual, in English and Spanish, emphasizing English with its numerous English-language descriptions of destinations. Main map scale is 1:475,000. GPS compatible. Full UTM grid.

Customer Reviews

Awesome!!! A great companion to "National Geographic's Panama" travel book
National Geographic did a wonderful job with this map. Very attention to detail not only in the topographic map itself, but it's also loaded with pictures & information regarding the regions of the country. There's also a smaller map of Panama City, but not as detail as the rest of the map. Very colorful - expected for National Geographic anyway. Even main highways are included. Very well put together; it definetly complements their travel book. Highly recommended!!!

Durable and informative
This is a great map for trekking around Panama. It's a good scale - it shows even small towns, yet it's not too huge. It's made of a durable and fairly waterproof paper. It has interesting info on native peoples, history, and popular places. Whether you're hitching or hiking, riding busses or driving, this map could definitely be of use to you.

Excelent Map
This is a great map of Panama. It is printed on heavy laminated paper so that it will last and not fall apart if it gets wet in you backpack or fanny pack while touring the country in the rainy season.

It is also colorful enough to put on any wall framed or not.

The detail is amazing and the tidbits are very informative.

I grew up in Panama and take the current issue of this map with me every time I return to visit my old haunts.
