This is a very attractive map covering the coastal region of Chile.  The Andes are shown prominently, with two live volcanoes in the vicinity of Villarrica.  San Juan is shown on a large spurious lake east of the Andes and incorrectly located south of Mendoza. The map is very decorative with a large scene of industrious natives and cherubs filling the entire top of the map. The ocean is embellished with two galleons and a compass rose.   The map is based on the cartography Hessel Gerritsz with north oriented to the left although the compass rose incorrectly depicts north at top.
