South America geography practice

Study notes: South America

Because the countries are large, Pin Drop rewards knowing where cities sit within a country — coast or interior, north or south.

Our data covers 12 countries in South America. The largest by land area is Brazil and the most populous is Brazil.

Brazil borders every other South American country except Chile and Ecuador.

Two landlocked countries

Bolivia and Paraguay are the only South American countries without a coastline. Bolivia’s government sits in La Paz, while Sucre is the constitutional capital.

Long and thin

Chile stretches more than 4,000 km from north to south but is rarely more than 200 km wide — remember that when ranking by latitude.
