[[File:Preparing for 2019 Seattle Fiestas Patrias Parade - 40 - women with flags.jpg|thumb|left|Central American women]]
This region of the continent is very rich in terms of ethnic groups. The majority of the population is [[mestizo]], with sizable Mayan and African descendent populations present, along with numerous other indigenous groups such as the [[Miskito people]]. The immigration of Arabs, Jews, Chinese, Europeans and others brought additional groups to the area.
