In my perspective there are at least 10 or 12 regions
1. Southwestern USA Hispanic Culture and Northern Mexico(Mexican Americans and Spanish Americans and Northern Mexico. Possibly Central Mexico aswell since the the tribes of Southwestern USA were related to the Aztecs)
2. Southern Mexico and Northern Central America(Southern Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras. More of a Mayan, Mesoamérica culture)
3. Southern Central America and Northwest South America(Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela and quite possibly Honduras. This group is more related to the Chibcha tribes that roamed the area and they’re modern day mestizo descendants)
4. Caribbean islands(All Anglo-French-Dutch Islands and the 3 Hispanic islands of Dominican Republic, Cuba and Puerto Rico)
5. The Guianas(Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana)
6. Andean Region(Southwestern Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Northern Chile, Northwestern Argentina)
7. Amazonia(Amazonian regions of Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, Bolivia, Guyana, French Guiana, Suriname and Brazil. Manaus is the cultural capital of this region located in Brazil along with cities like Belem and Iquitos)
8. Patagonia(Central and South Chile, Central and South Argentina. This Area is part of the greater Southern Cone and the cultural capital is Santiago, Chile along with Mendoza, Argentina)
9. Rio de la Plata(Paraguay, Uruguay, Eastern Bolivia, Eastern Argentina and Southern Brazil. Guaraní, Mate, Gauchos, vast European immigration, this is second and last part of the Greater Southern Cone)
10. Eastern Brazil(Northeast, Central and Southeastern Brazil, this is the main cultural hub of Brazil that bears no real strong relation to its neighbors)
Bonus(mostly just based of language not geography)
11. Anglo-French-Dutch Caribbean(All Anglo-French-Dutch Islands on the Caribbean, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, Coasts of Central America and Belize)
12. Spanish Caribbean(Dominican Republic, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Coastal Colombia, Coastal Venezuela and Panama)
I think Colombia wins in having it’s territory in different regions apart from its main one being the Southern Central American(it’s main one), Andean(third main one), Caribbean(second main one) and Amazonian region. Truly diverse country no other nation has it 4 areas like Colombia
