Geografía de Latinoamérica


If you have ever heard of a country and not known where it is, this post is for you. Personally, I still miss Carmen Sandiego and her travels all over the world running from Chief and the gumshoes! Anyone remember the TV show?


I have found a few games online that focus on finding countries and capitals in Latin America. This first one is good because it gives you a number of levels to choose from. Feeling brave? Try Level 3, where you need to drag the country where it belongs. A good hint is to follow the contour of the shore line. That will really help except for Bolivia and Paraguay; the first is landlocked, and the second has ocean acces via rivers. Of course you can also start at Level 1 and work your way up. There are quizzes on rivers and capitals too.

The following web page gives you the name of the country and you need to click on it. For Central and South America, go to:

South America only is at:

  1. I use to love watching Carmen Sandiego with my brother when we were kids, I remember singing the them song together jumping on the couch!! I played the game on the Caribbean's and did not find it difficult at all. I have traveled there many times and I am familiar with the area.
