The Far Cry 3 Map Editor is accessed from the main menu of the console version of Far Cry 3, but for those with the PC version of FC3, a little bit of navigating has to be done, as you will not find that utility on the main menu.

Where's the Map Editor on the PC version?

Visit the directory where you placed all of your Far Cry 3 files, such as

C:\Program Files (x86)\Far Cry 3\bin

or possibly

C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Far Cry 3\bin

Or if you downloaded Far Cry 3 from Steam with Windows 7 64bit

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Far Cry 3\bin

An easier way to find the location of the directory is simply right clicking whichever Far Cry 3.exe file you've been opening in order to run the game, and clicking on "Open File Location", which should be the third option from the top. This will open up the bin folder shown up above.

After you've found the bin folder for Far Cry 3 on your computer's hard drive, look for the executable (Application) named FC3Editor. Run that, and you're all set.

Check out some of the videos below to get a hang of the editor's interface.

TheBeachedHippo, a fairly prominent youtuber (https://www.youtube.com/user/TheBeachedHippo), has gotten his hands on Far Cry 3 as part of a promotional campaign and he has decided to do a blitz of Far Cry 3 videos. These include a full walkthrough of the game and gameplay from the map editor.
