Colombia Departments Quiz: Name All 32 Departments

Colombia has 32 departments plus the capital district of Bogotá — 33 answers in total. This quiz shows a blank map of Colombia. You type the name of each one, and the map colors that area in place.

How to play

• Type names in any order. A correct name colors the area on the map at once.
• You can start to type right away. You do not need to click the answer box first.
• Accents are not required. "Boyaca" counts for Boyacá, and "Choco" counts for Chocó.
• "San Andrés" counts for San Andrés and Providencia, the island department in the Caribbean.
• A timer tracks your run. The quiz saves your best score and best time.
• If you are stuck, use the give up button. The map then shows the areas you missed.

What counts in this quiz

• The 32 departments and the capital district of Bogotá.

What's not included — and why

• Cities are not answers. Medellín, Cali and Cartagena do not score — Antioquia, Valle del Cauca and Bolívar do.
• Natural regions are not answers. The Amazon and the Caribbean coast group departments, but they do not score.

Good to know

• Amazonas is the largest department by area, and most of it is rain forest.
• Bogotá sits about 2,640 meters above sea level. It is one of the highest capital cities in the world.
• San Andrés and Providencia lies about 700 km from the mainland, closer to Nicaragua than to the Colombian coast.
• Cundinamarca surrounds Bogotá, but the capital district is not part of it.
