Colombia is a mixture of all shades from black to white and everything in between, sometimes even in the same family.

"The 2005 census reported that the "non-ethnic population", consisting of whites and mestizos (those of mixed white European and Amerindian ancestry), constituted 86% of the national population. 10.6% is of African ancestry. Indigenous Amerindians comprise 3.4% of the population. Less than 0.01% of the population is Roma. An extraofficial estimate considers that the 49% of the Colombian population is Mestizo or of mixed European and Amerindian ancestry, and that approximately 37% is White, mainly of Spanish lineage, but there is also a large population of Middle East descent; among the upper class there is a considerable input of Italian and German ancestry."

The above from
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demograph … #Ethnicity

Ethnic groups mestizo and white 84.2%, Afro-Colombian (includes mulatto, Raizal, and Palenquero) 10.4%, Amerindian 3.4%, Romani <.01, unspecified 2.1% (2005 est.)

Hello everyone.

I’m Don Mike, 70 years young, originally from the U.S., now living here in Colombia.

I’m a photographer and content creator working on a project called “Me at 70” — documenting life, relocation, and what it’s really like starting over later in life.

I’m here to connect, learn, and build real community.

If you’ve made the move or are thinking about it, I’d love to hear your story.
