Maps & Shapes of South America
The outline of each of the 12 countries from South America, exactly as it appears in the Countries mode. Recognising the shape alone — no names, no colours — trains spatial visualisation more than memory.
Good to know
Bolivia and Paraguay are the only landlocked countries in the Americas. Brazil alone covers almost half of the continent and borders every South American country except Chile and Ecuador. Chile is the easiest outline to recognise: a strip more than 4,000 km long squeezed between the Andes and the Pacific.
