This map is double-sided to provide the best balance between a good scale and a convenient sheet size (size 99 x 69 cm / 39" x 27"). It is waterproof and tear-resistant, durable enough to survive time spent in the rucksack, pocket or on a restaurant table. The map is a part of a 9-sheet series covering all of Chile at an exceptionally good scale.

The southern half, centred on Punta Arenas, is at 1:550,000 and includes Puerto Natales, the Chilean part of the Tierra del Fuego, and the whole of the Magellan Straights.
