How this list was compiled: The 24 parts (23 provinces and the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires), their names and their capitals: the table 'División política, superficie y población' of the Instituto Geográfico Nacional, with figures of the national statistics office INDEC, https://www.ign.gob.ar/NuestrasActividades/Geografia/DatosArgentina/DivisionPolitica, read 2026-10-08 (24 jurisdictions; the city is listed as the federal capital), and ISO 3166-2:AR as printed at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2:AR (23 provinces and one city), read the same day. Capitals a second time, the 2022 census figures (Buenos Aires Province the most people, Córdoba second, Tierra del Fuego the fewest), Chaco a province since 1951, Formosa since 1955 and Tierra del Fuego since 1990: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provinces_of_Argentina, read 2026-10-08. The city split from the province in 1880 and self-governing since the constitutional amendment of 1994: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buenos_Aires; La Plata, the provincial capital, founded in 1882: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Plata and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buenos_Aires_Province. One checked line each, from the lead of the province's own article at en.wikipedia.org, read 2026-10-08: Tierra_del_Fuego_Province,_Argentina (southernmost and least populous; the effective extent is the eastern part of the main island and Isla de los Estados), Santa_Cruz_Province,_Argentina with Perito_Moreno_Glacier, Chubut_Province with Comodoro_Rivadavia (the largest city), R%C3%ADo_Negro_Province with Viedma (the capital near the Atlantic, Bariloche the largest city in the Andean foothills), Neuqu%C3%A9n_Province with Lan%C3%ADn (the volcano on the provincial flag), La_Pampa_Province (sparsely populated, in the Pampas), Mendoza_Province with Aconcagua (in Mendoza Province, the highest mountain outside Asia), San_Luis_Province (near the geographical center), C%C3%B3rdoba_Province,_Argentina (second most populous), Entre_R%C3%ADos_Province (the name means between rivers; the Paraná to the west and the Uruguay to the east), Misiones_Province with Iguazu_Falls (on the border of Misiones and the Brazilian state of Paraná), Corrientes_Province with Iber%C3%A1_Wetlands, Santa_Fe_Province with Rosario (the third most populous city of the country), Chaco_Province, Formosa_Province, Santiago_del_Estero_Province with Santiago_del_Estero (the oldest city in Argentina), Salta_Province (surrounds Jujuy; Bolivia and Paraguay to the north, Chile to the west), Jujuy_Province with Quebrada_de_Humahuaca (a World Heritage Site since 2003), Tucum%C3%A1n_Province (the most densely populated province) with Argentine_Declaration_of_Independence (9 July 1816, Congress of Tucumán), Catamarca_Province (the capital's name usually shortened to Catamarca), La_Rioja_Province,_Argentina with Talampaya_National_Park, San_Juan_Province,_Argentina with Ischigualasto_Provincial_Park (also called the Valley of the Moon). Left out, because the sources disagree: which province is the smallest (Tierra del Fuego or Tucumán, by how its area is counted) and the year La Pampa and Santa Cruz became provinces. The Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas), claimed by Argentina and administered by the United Kingdom, are drawn as the map source draws them, as land that is not part of any asked shape; the claim and who administers them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provinces_of_Argentina and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tierra_del_Fuego_Province,_Argentina, read 2026-10-08. The map was drawn for this site from Natural Earth 5.1.2, a public-domain map dataset; where a part lies on the map (a coast, a corner, a neighbor, the largest and the smallest shape) was read from that drawing.

How it works

This Argentina provinces map quiz asks for all 23 provinces and the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, 24 shapes in all. The city is too small to tap, so it carries a ring on the coast, beside the province that shares its name.

Read the full guide

Two rounds, each from south to north

Each round asks twelve shapes from the south, the center and the north together. The south is Santa Cruz, the island of Tierra del Fuego and the wide shapes of Patagonia; the center reaches Córdoba and Entre Ríos. The north is crowded, from the finger of Misiones west to the Andes; its smallest shape is Tucumán.

Two shapes named Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires Province is governed from La Plata, a city founded for the job in 1882, and not from the city of Buenos Aires. Every other capital is one tap away: choose Show me the labels first, then tap a province to read its capital.

  • Misiones, Corrientes and Entre Ríos run down the eastern edge in that order, from the tip of the finger to the ring.
  • Salta hooks around Jujuy in the top left corner: the small shape is Jujuy, and the one that wraps it is Salta.
  • Typing only Buenos Aires is marked wrong for both shapes. Add Province or City, or type CABA for the city.

Questions and answers

How many provinces does Argentina have?

Argentina has 23 provinces. The Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, the national capital, governs itself and is not one of them, which is why this map asks for 24 shapes. The country's national geographic institute lists the same 24.

Is Buenos Aires a province or a city?

Both are on the map. Buenos Aires Province is the largest shape and has the most people of any province. The City of Buenos Aires was split from it in 1880, and a constitutional change in 1994 made it autonomous.

What is the southernmost province of Argentina?

Tierra del Fuego, governed from Ushuaia. It also has the fewest people of the 23. The shape asked here is the Argentine part of the main island.

Are the Falkland Islands on this map?

Some borders on this map are disputed. Argentina claims the Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas), which the United Kingdom administers. The map follows Natural Earth, a public-domain map source, which draws them outside every province, and it takes no side. They are shown but not asked.
