Does Bolivia or Peru have more pure Amerindians(%)?

[Erronkari]

Source 1 the full Amerindian population is at 55%; the remaining 30% are mestizo (mixed Amerindian and white), and around 15% are white

Source 2 The indigenous people compose 60% of the Bolivian population.

However

(mestizo) compose the 26% of the Bolivian population. Most people assume their mestizo identity while at the same time identifying themselves with one or more Indigenous cultures.

mestizo (mixed white and Amerindian ancestry) 68%, indigenous 20%, white 5%, cholo/chola 2%, black 1%, other 1%, unspecified 3% ; 44% of respondents indicated feeling part of some indigenous group, predominantly Quechua or Aymara (2009 est.)

If by mestizos, are included indomestizos so it's ok.
But properly mestizos 50/50 in Bolivia are far less than indomestizos and assimilated amerindians, especially in the west of the country.

So all this means: 20% pure Amerindian (no euro); 40% indo-mestizo, 28% mestizo (40+28=68); and white 5-10%?

Bolivia, but peruvians on average are darker, i think.

How does that work? More Afro admixture? Darker indigenous groups?

Both and perhaps climatic / solar factors.
The truth is that when I was in Chile I lived with Peruvians and Bolivians in a hostel and to my surprise, the former used to be darker.

Yes, I find very accurate, bro!!

I'd say Bolivia got some more.

I am asking from experience since sources vary and are dated; Bolivia (20) and Peru (25)?

What % are mestizo in each country? are they equal shifted like Chile or more diverse like Mexico?

How big is the Arab, Chinese and black influence (particularly Peru) amongst the mixed race?

Is the white population in both about 5%?

I say Chinese are assimilate in Peru already and have mixed with Peruvians they have strong culinary influence. In terms of Arabs and Blacks, blacks are small minority 3.6% and somewhat of an influence in music and dancing.

Peruvians aren't an ethnicity LOL.

mestizos in Peru account for 60%. Bolivia's mestizo population is supposedly 68%, but other sources say the country is heavily populated by Quecha and Aymara peoples. Both of these countries are the most heavily amerindian-influenced in South America without a doubt, but I would say that Bolivia in terms of culture and genetics is far more amerindian than Peru.
