For your best adventures, use the best map. Water-proof, split-proof, tear-proof, adventure-proof. Azores Tour & Trail Super-Durable Map is the most detailed, accurate, toughest, large scale map of these 9 islands that you can buy.
1:60,000 scale for each island, Sao Miguel at 70,000 scale, produces a double sided map sheet of 960mm by 694mm; big enough to show masses of detail but compact enough to use in the car or on the trail. Our special concertina map fold means your map is easy to unfold, and more importantly easy to refold back to its pocket size. Faial, Pico, Santa Maria and Sao Jorge are on the facing sheet of the map, with Corvo, Flores, Graciosa, Sao Miguel and Terceira on the reverse side.
You get the most detailed map of the Azores islands that is produced, including our Tour & Trail level of detail ranging from major roads to secondary roads to minor roads to streets and narrow country roads, plus dirt tracks and walking trails. Altitude shading is designed to clearly show the altitude range when travelling across the island by car or on foot. 20 metre and 100 metre contours combined with altitude shading bring this beautiful landscape to life.
There are plenty of individual height points and all of the official 'Trig' points are on the map. Tour & Trail attention to detail includes our useful symbol range including viewpoints, picnic areas, petrol stations, bar/restaurants and parking areas where you can pull off the road safely. You will easily identify springs, caves, sports grounds, cemeteries, monasteries, churches, chapels, lighthouses, castles, camping areas, wind turbines, windmills etc.
All of the official GR, PR and PRC walking routes are specially highlighted on the map, with summaries for each island, including distances, timings and grades of difficulty. It all adds up to the most detailed, most durable map of the Azores that you can buy anywhere. 'Super-Durable' means a waterproof, tear-proof map that can take the roughest treatment and still folds up like new after your adventures.
Super-Durable Maps come with a 2 year adventurous use 'Wear and Tear' guarantee.
