Bolivarian countries

The Bolivarian countries.

The Bolivarian countries[1] are six Hispanic American countries (Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Peru and Venezuela) whose republican origin is attributed to the ideals of Simón Bolívar and the independence war led by the Venezuelan military in the viceroyalties of New Granada and Peru.

The links between these countries have come through economic alliances and international treaties such as the Andean Community, which since 1939 brought together those countries except Panama and included Chile and Venezuela.[2] Cultural and sporting organizations have also forged ties between the Bolivarian countries, such as the Bolivarian Sports Organization, which has organized the Bolivarian Games every four years since 1938.[3]
