PÁGINA IMAGINÁRIA
When the Project Orimaps, from Miguel Morais, come to an ending, portuguese orienteering was about to have one single map printing Project, located on northern Portugal. Página Imaginária was born out of the need to create a consistent choice to map printing services specialized in Nature sports, and most precisely, in orienteering.
Since January 2011, Página Imaginária has become one of the 2 only single map printing companies to be certified by both the Portuguese Orienteering Federation (FPO) and International Orienteering Federation (IOF). Página Imaginária has been a part of several major orienteering events not only in Portugal but also in Spain, becoming also a relevant player on Spanish orienteering, that represents nowadays half of Página Imaginária annual workload.
Página Imaginária wants to keep up being an added value to Portuguese orienteering, not only by its important role in Spain trough the quality services we provide, but also by adding new services connected to Orienteering (with map production and teaching services specialized in the sport) and also working on non related orienteering services (graphic preparation and printing of other type of works).
Página Imaginária website shows our need to be an added value to portuguese orienteering, not only on a historical basis, showing some of the most significant works connected to major iberic events, but also allowing to have detailed explanations of the type of jobs that can be requested by institutions, clubs and companies organizing orienteering events or other Nature sport events.
