This collection features the ten most populous cities in South America, which account for more than half of the continent's population. São Paulo leads with 12 million inhabitants and serves as Brazil's economic hub, while Lima extends along the Pacific coast and Bogotá develops at 2620 meters above sea level in the Colombian Andes. Buenos Aires, Argentine capital known for its cuisine, borders Rio de Janeiro with its beaches lined by hills, and Santiago, nestled at the foot of the Andes. These large cities are the main political, economic, and cultural centers of their respective countries. Brazil alone has five metropolises in this ranking, including Brasília, the federal capital known for its modern architecture, as well as the coastal cities of Salvador and Fortaleza in the northeast of the country. Caracas in Venezuela and Lima in Peru complete this panorama of South American urban geography, each offering a different face of city development on the continent.
