  Een degelijke kaart met aanduidingen van o.a. nationale parken, vliegveld, benzinepomp, dirt-roads en kleine plattegrond van hoofdstad. Als overzichtskaart goed te gebruiken.

  Peru at 1:1,500,000 on a double-sided, waterproof and tear-resistant, indexed map from ITMB, with large, clear street plans of central Lima and Cusco, highlighting accommodation, places of interest and various facilities.

  The map divides the country north/south, approximately along the line between the Cordillera Blanca and Cordillera Huyahuash, with very little overlap between the two sides. Topography is very effectively presented by altitude colouring, with spot heights and additional graphics for swamps and marshland, glaciers and volcanos.

  The map shows the country’s road network distinguishing between all-weather and seasonable roads and indicates driving distances on main routes. Railway lines, including the popular routes linking Cusco with Puno and Arequipa, are very clearly shown. The map also shows local airports and airstrips, as well as internal administrative boundaries with names of the provinces.

  National parks are highlighted and symbols indicate various other places of interest, including the country archaeological sites. Latitude and longitude lines are drawn at intervals of 1°. Each side has a separate index of localities.

  Also included are very clear street plans of central Lima and Cusco highlighting selected accommodation, supermarkets, various institutions and places of interest, etc.

  Zo ongeveer het beste bergsport-boek ooit geschreven: bloedstollend spannend!

   

  Joe Simpson and his climbing partner, Simon Yates, had just reached the top of a 21,000-foot peak in the Andes when disaster struck. Simpson plunged off the vertical face of an ice ledge, breaking his leg. In the hours that followed, darkness fell and a blizzard raged as Yates tried to lower his friend to safety. Finally, Yates was forced to cut the rope, moments before he would have been pulled to his own death.

   

  The next three days were an impossibly grueling ordeal for both men. Yates, certain that Simpson was dead, returned to base camp consumed with grief and guilt over abandoning him. Miraculously, Simpson had survived the fall, but crippled, starving, and severely frostbitten was trapped in a deep crevasse. Summoning vast reserves of physical and spiritual strength, Simpson crawled over the cliffs and canyons of the Andes, reaching base camp hours before Yates had planned to leave.

   

  How both men overcame the torments of those harrowing days is an epic tale of fear, suffering, and survival, and a poignant testament to unshakable courage and friendship.
