Bolivia departments quiz: nine departments, Sucre and La Paz, and the three-question mode

A student of Spanish planning a trip from La Paz to Sucre learns the map first. “Find the place” asks the nine departments in random order, “Choose the capital” asks all nine with four capitals each, and “Find it from its capital” asks only three, since six departments share their name with their capital.

  1. The classic trap: Sucre is Chuquisaca’s capital, not Potosí’s. Chuquisaca’s four answers are Sucre, two of Tarija, Potosí, Cochabamba, Oruro, Santa Cruz and La Paz, and Santa Cruz (also S).
  2. For Beni the answer is Trinidad, and Tarija is always among the four, the other capital starting with T.
  3. Pando and Beni fill the north, Santa Cruz the large east; La Paz, Oruro and Potosí run down the western highlands, Tarija in the south, against Argentina.
  4. In “Find it from its capital” the six departments not asked are greyed; a click on them does nothing.
Department Capital Asked in “Find it from its capital”
Pando Cobijayes
Beni Trinidadyes
La Paz La Pazno — same name
Cochabamba Cochabambano — same name
Oruro Orurono — same name
Santa Cruz Santa Cruzno — same name
Potosí Potosíno — same name
Chuquisaca Sucreyes
Tarija Tarijano — same name

With nine questions a round takes about a minute: “Done! 8/9 in 0:52”, say, with the one missed listed (“Chuquisaca · Sucre” in choice mode) and “Practise the ones I missed” to replay it.

How it works

  1. Choose a quiz: find the departments by name, find each from its capital, or choose the capital among four.
  2. Click or tap each place as its name appears; zoom in for the small ones.
  3. At the end, see your time and score, then practise only the ones you missed.

Frequently asked questions

What is the capital of Bolivia here?
Sucre, the capital in law, is Chuquisaca’s capital in the quiz; La Paz, the seat of government, is La Paz department’s.
How does it work?
A name appears above the map: click or tap that place. Right answers turn green; after three misses the answer is shown. Skipped places come back at the end, and the ones you missed can be practised again.
Why does “Find it from its capital” ask only three departments?
Six departments have a capital of the same name (La Paz, Cochabamba, Oruro, Potosí, Santa Cruz and Tarija), so the question would give the answer away. Pando (Cobija), Beni (Trinidad) and Chuquisaca (Sucre) are asked; “Choose the capital” asks all nine.
Do I need an account?
No. The quiz runs in your browser with nothing to install or sign up for, and your scores are not stored anywhere.
