Map of South America: all countries in South America

South America is the continent south of the Isthmus of Panama and is characterised by major geographic contrasts. The Amazon basin, the long chain of the Andes, dry coastal deserts along the Pacific, and large plains and agricultural regions further south and east all define the continent. The map also shows how many South American countries have Atlantic coastlines while others stretch from sea to highlands and jungle within a single national border.

Searches for countries in South America often involve comparing capitals, finding neighbouring countries or understanding how large countries such as Brazil and Argentina relate to smaller states like Uruguay, Suriname or Guyana. The page therefore gathers both the overview map and a clear country list with links to each country, making it easy to move from a regional view to specific country facts.

The South America page is intended as a quick hub for geography enthusiasts, students, travellers and anyone wanting to orient themselves in the region. You get a structured list of countries, their capitals and their population size, without needing to navigate through several layers of menus.
