"Culimochos" or "mulateños" are a small ethnic group (around 600 people) living in northern coast of Nariño (Colombian Pacific).
In contrast with most population in the region (who are pred. SSA), culimochos shows a considerable Euro admixture.
They are believed to be descendants of Spaniards sailors who were engaged in ship assembly ~300 y.a. and who voluntarily kept themselves segregated from the surrounding population.
