South American Countries

This map quiz asks you to match each country on the South American map to its name, so you are placing nations by location rather than recalling facts about them.

You move around the whole continent, identifying countries from their shape and position.

The part that catches people out is the cluster of smaller countries in the north, which sit close together and are easy to mix up if you only know the big outlines like Brazil. Spending a moment on that corner of the map pays off. Go through it a handful of times and even the trickier neighbours start to fall into place without hesitation.

Recommended level: beginner to intermediate.
