Upano river
The river spreads wide below the town in a braided pattern of channels and bars. It is the most expressive feature on the Macas map.

The map
About this Macas map poster
Macas, the capital of Morona Santiago, lies in Ecuador's eastern lowlands at the foot of the Andes. On the map the town is a tidy grid on a raised terrace. On one side, the Upano river spreads below in a wide, braided channel of gravel bars and shifting streams, and the land beyond is covered in forest and pasture.
On clear days the town has views of Sangay, one of Ecuador's most active volcanoes, rising to the west. The region is the traditional territory of the Shuar people, and Macas serves as the administrative and market centre for much of the surrounding province.
A Macas map poster brings together two very different kinds of line: the orderly blocks of a colonial-style grid and the restless, interlaced channels of an Amazonian river. The contrast is clean and quietly dramatic.

Terrace grid
The town's regular blocks sit on raised ground above the river. They give the poster a calm, orderly centre.
Toward Sangay
To the west the land rises toward the Andes and the volcano Sangay. The streets give way to open, sloping country.

Why Macas
A map that means something
Macas is a meaningful map for people from Morona Santiago, travellers heading into the Ecuadorian Amazon, and anyone who has watched Sangay from the town. The river and grid make a balanced, striking print.
