What can I use it for?

Learning the countries and capitals of South America, a map quiz, a project on the Andes or the Amazon, or marking a journey.

Why are some countries not named?

Every country of South America is large enough to be named, even on A4.

Is the map up to date?

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

Can I get the whole world?

Yes — the blank world map page draws the world and every other continent.

Which capital does the quiz give for Bolivia?

Sucre, Bolivia’s constitutional capital. The government and parliament sit in La Paz, so you may want to accept both answers.

Can I colour the Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking countries?

Yes. Under Colour countries choose 2 colours: put Brazil in colour 1 with the legend “Portuguese”, and Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela in colour 2 with “Spanish”, separated by commas — or click them on the preview. Guyana (English) and Suriname (Dutch) stay white.

Example

South America for a quiz: all 12 countries named, 12 capitals to fill in

A fifth-grade class is learning South America. Unlike Africa or Asia, every one of its 12 countries is large enough to be named inside its borders on a single Letter sheet, so one map can be the answer key and a numbered worksheet the test. Paper: US Letter, one sheet.

Style	What is on the sheet
With country names	All 12 countries named, Brazil to Suriname; the Falkland Islands drawn but not named; Panama and Central America named at the top of the frame
Countries numbered + answers	12 numbers: 1 Ecuador, 2 Colombia, 3 Venezuela, 4 Guyana, 5 Suriname, 6 Peru, 7 Chile, 8 Bolivia, 9 Argentina, 10 Paraguay, 11 Uruguay, 12 Brazil
Capitals numbered + answers	12 capitals: Quito, Bogotá, Caracas, Georgetown, Paramaribo, Lima, Santiago, Sucre, Asunción, Brasília, Buenos Aires, Montevideo
Coastline only (no borders)	The outline of the continent and no lines inside

Each worksheet is two pages: the map with the numbers, a numbered list and Name and Date lines, then the answers. Bolivia’s capital is given as Sucre, the constitutional capital; the government sits in La Paz, which a class may want to accept too.

How it works

Pick a style: blank with borders for a quiz, coastline only for drawing, or with country names in your language.
Choose the paper — A3 gives room to more names.
Press Make PDF and print; the lines are vector, so they stay sharp at any size.
