Initially colonial [[Argentina]] and [[Uruguay]] had a predominantly mestizo population like the rest of the Spanish colonies, but due to a flood of continuous European migration waves in the 19th and early 20th centuries and the repeated intermarriage with Europeans, most of them coming from [[Italy]] and [[Spain]], this intensified the European influence on culture and society in Argentina and Uruguay. As a result, the Mestizo population became a so-called [[Castizo]] population. As a result, the term Mestizo has seen a decrease in use. Nevertheless, the cultural practice of the region is commonly centred on the figure of the [[Gaucho]], which intrinsically mixes European and native traditions.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Casas |first1=Matías |title=Tradicionalistas Y Rioplatenses |journal=Humanidades: Revista de la Universidad de Montevideo |date=2021 |volume=9 (junio) |issue=9 |pages=209–40 |doi=10.25185/9.9 |s2cid=236372020 |url=https://doi.org/10.25185/9.9. |access-date=22 February 2023|hdl=11336/165345 |hdl-access=free }}</ref>

[[Argentine Northwest]] still has an important mestizo population, especially in the provinces of [[Jujuy Province|Jujuy]] and [[Salta Province|Salta]].<ref name="autogenerated1"/><ref>''Encyclopædia Britannica''.
