Equivalent of Google Map for Latin America?
Hi,
Does anyone know of a website that's like Goolge Map where I can find driving distance/time between 2 cities?
In particular, I'm looking for a map of Peru. And if you happen to know how long it takes to go by car or bus between Ollanta and Pisac, that would be great!
thanks!

Really? From the map it looks much further out.
I read it takes 1 1/2 hours to go from Cusco to Ollanta via Chincero.
And 40 minutes to go from Cusco to Pisac, which is on the other direction.
So, to go from Ollanta to Pisac, it must be at least 2 hours? Or the maps are not drawn to scale in guidebooks.
RBCAl, Have you gone directly between Ollanta and Pisac? I hope it's just 1/2 hour, because I worry about missing my train from Ollanta to Machu Picchu!
Thanks

It is a drive of 45.6 miles, 1:10 hrs.

Thanks, Jed, for the map!
It looks like the map only gives you the choice of going between Ollanta and Pisac via Cusco.
I try to do Ollanta--> Yucay --> Pisac without going through Cusco, but the portion from Yucay --> Pisac still routes me via Cusco, which seems to be the longer oute.
Oh well, at least I know it's about 1 hr 10 minutes. Hopefully it turns out less in the direct route, like what RBCal said!
