Where are the Galápagos?

In a small box, as Ecuadorian school maps show them, so the mainland provinces fill the page.

Where does the map come from?

From Natural Earth, a free public-domain map dataset that shows borders as they are in practice. It is a map to learn and colour, not to measure distances.

Can I mark the provincial capitals?

Yes: tick “Mark the capitals” for 24 dots, Quito ringed. With the names on, each capital is written too, from Tulcán to Zamora and Puerto Baquerizo Moreno on the Galápagos.

Can I colour the Coast, Andes and Amazon?

Yes: choose 3 or 4 colours under “Colour states, provinces or regions”, type or click the provinces of each region and add a legend; the names match with or without accents.

Example

Ecuador’s 24 provinces coloured by its four regions

A Spanish class in the US learns Ecuador’s natural regions: the Coast, the Andes, the Amazon and the Galápagos. The blank map is drawn landscape on A4 with the 24 provinces outlined and the Galápagos in a box top left.

Set “Colour states, provinces or regions” to 4 colours and type each list as in the table, or click the provinces on the preview; the four legends print in a free corner.
For the pupils’ own copy, print “Blank, with the borders” and let them colour it.
“With the names” fits all 24 names inside their provinces on A4, US Letter and A3, with no leader lines.

Colour and legend	Provinces	Count
1: Coast	Esmeraldas, Manabí, Santa Elena, Guayas, Los Ríos, El Oro, Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas	7
2: Andes	Carchi, Imbabura, Pichincha, Cotopaxi, Tungurahua, Bolívar, Chimborazo, Cañar, Azuay, Loja	10
3: Amazon	Sucumbíos, Orellana, Napo, Pastaza, Morona Santiago, Zamora Chinchipe	6
4: Galápagos Islands	Galápagos	1

A coloured map of 7 + 10 + 6 + 1 = 24 provinces with a four-line legend, and a blank copy to colour by hand.

How it works

Pick a style: blank with the borders for a quiz, the outline only for drawing, or with the names.
Tick “Mark the capitals” to add a dot for each capital, and choose the paper.
Press Make PDF and print; the lines are vector, so they stay sharp at any size.
