Ecuador provinces quiz: 24 to find, 18 from their capitals, Galápagos in a box

A volunteer heading to a school in Riobamba learns the provinces. “Find the place” asks all 24 once each in a random order; the Galápagos are drawn in a box at the top left of the map, so the islands are easy to click.

  1. “Find it from its capital” asks 18: Orellana, Esmeraldas, Loja, Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas, Santa Elena and Zamora Chinchipe stay pale, as their capitals give the name away.
  2. Capitals to learn: Pichincha → Quito, Guayas → Guayaquil, Azuay → Cuenca, Sucumbíos → Nueva Loja, Galápagos → Puerto Baquerizo Moreno.
  3. In “Choose the capital”, Orellana’s answers include Puerto Francisco de Orellana and another P (Portoviejo, Puerto Baquerizo Moreno or Puyo), so the two Puertos can meet.
Region Provinces
Coast (7) Esmeraldas, Manabí, Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas, Los Ríos, Santa Elena, Guayas, El Oro
Andes (10) Carchi, Imbabura, Pichincha, Cotopaxi, Tungurahua, Bolívar, Chimborazo, Cañar, Azuay, Loja
Amazon (6) Sucumbíos, Orellana, Napo, Pastaza, Morona Santiago, Zamora Chinchipe
Galápagos (1) Galápagos, in its own box

“Done! 20/24 in 3:05” lists the four missed, for example Bolívar, Cañar, Cotopaxi and Tungurahua, small provinces of the Andes, with “Practise the ones I missed” for a round of those four.

How it works

  1. Choose a quiz: find the provinces 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

Where are the Galápagos?
In a box beside the mainland, as maps of Ecuador usually show them, so the islands are large enough to click.
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.
How many questions does each quiz ask?
“Find the place” and “Choose the capital” ask all 24 provinces. “Find it from its capital” asks 18: Orellana, Esmeraldas, Loja, Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas, Santa Elena and Zamora Chinchipe are left out, as their capitals carry their names.
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.
