    This document provides the magnetic declination for a location at 17° 23' 2" S latitude and 66° 10' 1" W longitude at an elevation of 0 meters on September 25, 2017. The declination given is 9° 39' W and is changing by 0° 12' W per year with an uncertainty of 0° 20'. The document also notes that magnetic declination is the angle between true north and magnetic north and current field models are generally accurate to within 30 minutes of arc.

    Magnetic declination is the angle between true north and the horizontal trace of the local
    magnetic field. In general, the present day field models such as the IGRF and World Magnetic
    Model (WMM) are accurate to within 30 minutes of arc for the declination. However, local
    anomalies exceeding 10 degrees, although rare, do exist.
