 The Mulatto segment (mix of white and black) represented 6.7% and indigenous people made up 2.4% of the population.Native and European mixed blood populations are far less than in other Latin American countries.Exceptions are Guanacaste, where almost half the population is visibly mestizo, a legacy of the more pervasive unions between Spanish colonists and Chorotega Amerindians through several generations, and Limón, where the vast majority of the Afro-Costa Rican community lives.
