Two borders away

These eight countries border a neighbour of Colombia but not Colombia itself, so you cross exactly two borders to reach them by land.

Think you know your neighbours?

Border Chain gives you two countries and you connect them by naming neighbours, one border at a time. A new puzzle every day.

How far are you from Colombia?

On a phone this uses GPS. The calculator opens with Colombia already selected and measures the straight-line distance to its nearest border.
