Most european latin american regions

[Italicus]

Which regions in Latin America have the most amount of whites? (80% European or more) From what I have seen on genetic tests in this forum so far, it appears that the Southern Cone, Brazil, Antioquia, western Puerto Rico, and western Cuba have the most European ancestry. Are there any other regions with noticeably high amounts of European descendants?

[Erronkari]

Yes. Very accurate!!
Probably we can add Costa Rica Central Valley and some parts of northern and western Mexico.

Santa Catarina, Brazil, countryside.

Never been to Costa Rica but the ones I met are pretty dark, will take your word for it though. I would say not all of Western Mexico too, but good chunks of it.

there is a zone in Costa Rica with German ancestry, I really dont remember the it is

In CR especially the central valley, there are highlands between 900 and 1.500 mts.
That region is the most populated area of the country.
Even though the other regions are indeed populated by mixed people mostly.
The Central Valley is very diverse... you can find many different types.

South of Brazil, interior of São Paulo - State and South of Minas Gerais -State would have> 70% euro, cities have 10% to 30% of mixed race browns, the rest is self-declared white. The rest of Brazil is 50-60% euro.

Interesting, which regions of north western Mexico?

Jalisco, Nuevo León Sonora, Sinaloa, Durango, Chihuahua, Zacatecas and Baja California.

Some of those places seem kinda high especially for how low Argentina is.

[samario]

Here in Colombia, most European-admixed regions are the west-central corridor from Antioquia to northern Valle and the Santanderes region to the country's North East. There are other European-admixed regions but these are the most European ones.

The Pampas region is scoring high on European ancestry. Remember not all of Argentinos are Porteños (from Buenos Aires). There are even pockets of Indo-mestizos in North West Argentina.

Forgot andean venezuelan region is very euro influenced.

Those barplots describe how are genetically the diferent nationalities or most of them.

"Porteños" are from the capital, they are not the most euro.
Buenos Aires is diverse depending of the neightbourhood because it recived many european immigrants but also many immigrants from the most inner provinces with many clearly mixed people.
The most euro side are the countryside of the different central provinces (La Pampa Húmeda region).

In Salta and Jujuy people are very mixed as Samario said.

Considering the migration history and genetics of the Americas, by sheer numbers it appears that Colombia and Mexico have the highest amount of criollos, correct me if I am wrong. Whereas in the Southern Cone, Venezuela and Cuba most whites have at least some post colonial ancestry.

It is genetic pool. Northeast Brazil is 60% euro, but the population is over 70% brown.

Yes it's correct

The Venezuelan Andes and the Colombian province of Santander should be mentioned too (mostly harnizo/castizo with a sizable criollo population).

North of Santander, Boyaca and Cundinamarca also have a good amount of overall Euro admixture, but not sure is as much as the Colombian province of Santander and the Venezuelan Andean states of Merida and Tachira.

Edit: Central Chile too (where most of the Chilean population lives).

Norte de Santander doesn't differ much from Santander, they are part of a single demographic region. If anything, many Andean Venezuelans descend from colonial Nortesantandereanos.

Antioquia and Eje Cafetero feature a similar pattern (Caldas, Risaralda, Quindío, northern Valle and parts of Tolima). Boyaca and Cundinamarca are slightly less Euro, still they hover around 62-71% Caucasoid on average.

Santanderes and Paisa region hover around 65-73% Euro/Caucasoid on average.
