Tabula
Chaupimarca is the historic core of Cerro de Pasco, the capital of Peru's Pasco region. At more than 4,300 meters above sea level, it is among the highest urban areas in the world. On a map, its most striking feature is not a square or a river but a vast open-pit mine that has consumed a large part of the old town.
The streets of Chaupimarca curve around the edge of the pit. Some end abruptly where the excavation begins, and the town's layout clearly shows the pressure of more than a century of mining. Around it, the high puna landscape is open and treeless, dotted with lakes, waste deposits and other workings that appear as irregular shapes on detailed maps.
A Chaupimarca map poster is a frank, powerful image of a place shaped by mining. The dense, uneven streets contrast with the huge empty void of the pit, and the map shows the relationship between town and mine more directly than any description. For people from Cerro de Pasco, it is a portrait of home that is honest about how it has changed.
A giant mine pit sits right beside the historic town. On the map it appears as a large void with streets pressed against its rim.
Chaupimarca's lanes bend and break around the mine and the hilly ground. The resulting pattern is dense, uneven and unlike a planned grid.
The town lies on the open, treeless high plateau of central Peru. Small lakes and mining sites dot the surrounding landscape.

Cerro de Pasco is a city that many families have left for Lima or abroad, but few forget. A map of Chaupimarca shows the town and the mine together, as people who lived there remember it.
Title the poster Chaupimarca or Cerro de Pasco, add a year or family name in the subtitle, and keep the coordinates. Noir and Classic black & white bring out the pit's strong shape. Download the files or order a printed poster.
