How to learn the map of the Americas

Central America is a chain of seven, and order is everything: Guatemala first below Mexico, with Belize on its Caribbean side; then Honduras, El Salvador (Pacific coast only), Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama. Cuba is the long island north of Jamaica; Hispaniola is split between Haiti (west) and the Dominican Republic (east).

In South America, Brazil borders every country except Chile and Ecuador. The three small ones on the north coast are, from west to east, Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana (not a country; it is part of France). Bolivia and Paraguay are the two landlocked ones. Colombia is the only South American country touching both the Pacific and the Caribbean; Ecuador is below it on the Pacific, Peru below that, Chile along the whole southern Pacific coast with Argentina beside it.
