The map below shows the route the expedition took from La Coruña to La Guaira, the point at which Salvany and Balmis would go their separate ways.
How to use the map:
- To navigate across the map, you can drag it while clicking on it; zoom using the scroll wheel of a mouse on computers, pinch out with two fingers on touchscreens, or use the + and – buttons in the upper-left corner of the map.
- In the top right-hand corner, there is a drop-down legend showing which colour represents each subgroup of the expedition.
- To advance in the map, use the Previous and Next buttons located at the bottom of the map.
- In principle, one stop represents the movement from city 1 to city 2. However, as the journey became more complex and its accounts scarce, one stop will have intermediate stops in between.
- All stops can be clicked on to reveal a pop-up with the name of the town and the dates of arrival and departure from them, when recorded.
