Where can I find good topographical maps of Peru?

Question

Disclaimer: I'm not even sure if this is an appropriate question for this forum, but I lack the requisite reputation to ask for a judgement call on meta.

I'm in the very early stages of planning a journey through Peru. My thinking so far takes two assumptions. Firstly, I'll be alone. Secondly, I'll be on foot unless I absolutely need to get somewhere quickly. With that in mind, I'm running into the following questions:

Where can I find good topographical maps of Peru, preferably an atlas that covers all of Peru's regions?

Welcome Alex; your question would probably be easier to answer if split into three separate questions. — ppl, Jul 05 '16 at 20:11
I have no problem with doing that, but thought it might be considered spamming. — , Jul 05 '16 at 21:05
@AlexClough nope. The stack exchange network is all about small manageable chunks so we can give you really good answers. — StrongBad, Jul 05 '16 at 21:54
Since you've already asked the second bullet as a separate question, perhaps you could remove it from this post? — Roflo, Jul 06 '16 at 18:31
I still feel like this needs to be two questions. One on maps one on food — , Jul 11 '16 at 09:36

The University of Texas Library has some decent 1:100,000 topo maps of Peru for free download:

The TF Outdoors layer on CalTopo also looks good (the Inca Trail is marked on it), and I believe it's based largely on OpenStreetMap data. – requiem Aug 27 '16 at 00:12
Just a quick note: 1:100'000 is insufficient for planning mountain treks, especially in areas like the Andes where some paths aren't clearly marked and the terrain is difficult and exposed! – fgysin Dec 05 '17 at 06:45
