The province (provincia) is the second tier of Bolivia, between the nine departments and the municipalities, and the unit a Bolivian will use to say where in a department a place is. There are 112 of them, from the compact provinces of the Cochabamba valley to the vast plains of Santa Cruz and Beni.
The provinces of Bolivia. Many are named for the heroes of the independence wars, so the map is a roll call of generals and presidents: Ingavi, Aroma, Ballivián, Warnes and Campero. Others are named for the geography they hold, the Yungas and the Lípez, the Chaco and the Cordillera.
Four departments have a province called Cercado, since that is what the province of a capital is called, and they are told apart in brackets: Cercado in Beni is Trinidad's, Cercado in Cochabamba is the city of Cochabamba's, and so on.
The provinces are very uneven. Cochabamba packs sixteen into its valley, and the smallest, Germán Jordán, covers under 200 square kilometres, so the smallest have a tap area wider than their outline and zooming in is the way to reach the rest. In the east the opposite holds: Cordillera in Santa Cruz is the largest province in the country, and Velasco and Yacuma are nearly as big.
The groups are the departments, so the game lets you drill them one at a time. Each department answers under the same name in Bolivia Departments.
Germán Jordán is a province of Cochabamba, in the valley, and the smallest of the 112 by area. It is small enough to need a tap area on the map.
Cordillera is the largest province in Bolivia, in the south east of Santa Cruz on the border with Paraguay. Despite the name it is mostly plain and scrub, in the Chaco.
Cercado in Beni is the province of Trinidad. It is one of four Cercados, one for each of the departments of Beni, Cochabamba, Oruro and Tarija. The brackets name the department, and so does the group the question is dealt from.
112, spread over the nine departments.
Cercado is the name of the province around a department's capital, and four departments have one. The bracket says which.
The municipios beneath the provinces number over three hundred, which makes a quiz of a different kind, so the game stops at the province.
The tier above this one is Bolivia Departments. For another country at this level, see Peru Provinces.
