Mestizo Bolivian Erotic

Mestizo Bolivians comprise approximately 48% of the Bolivian population, the residual category combining people of mixed Spanish and Indigenous (predominantly Quechua and Aymara) ancestry who do not self-identify as Indigenous. Bolivia is somewhat unusual in Latin America in that the 2012 census did not enumerate 'mestizo' as a separate self-identification — respondents either claimed an Indigenous identity or did not, and 'mestizo' is the residual interpretation. The population is heavily concentrated in urban centers (La Paz/El Alto, Cochabamba, Sucre, Potosí, Tarija) and in Santa Cruz Department where colonial settlement was less dense and 19th-20th c. internal highland-to-lowland migration created a distinct Mestizo lowland identity (camba in popular usage). Genome-wide studies place average ancestry at 60-75% Indigenous American, 20-35% European, and 1-3% African, with substantial regional variance.
