Mestizo Colombians refers to Colombians who are of European (mostly Spanish) and Amerindian ancestry.

Numbers and distribution[edit]

The 2018 census reported that 87% of the population did not consider themselves part of the listed ethnic groups, instead identifying as Mestizos and Whites.[5]

External sources found Mestizos are the main racial group in Colombia, making up between 49% and 58% of country's population.[2][3][4] Chibcha mestizos make up around 10–15 million people or 20–30% of Colombia’s population.[6] According to Latinobarometro, 47% of Colombians surveyed self identified as Mestizos.[1]

Genetics[edit]

Genetic studies estimate that admixture of Colombians varies between region, but a study conducted in fourteen urban Mestizo populations reported an average of 47% Amerindian, 42% European, and 11% African ancestry.[7]

Genetic ancestry of Mestizo Colombians according to Rojas et al (2010)[7]

  Amerindian (47%)
  European (42%)
  African (11%)
