About 60% of Colombia's population are mestizos, and some one fifth are of European descent. Indigenous peoples, who account for only about 1% of today's population, live on the edge of some of the major cities and in remote areas.

About 15% of the people are of mixed African and European descent. The small (less than 5%) black population is concentrated along the coasts and in the Magdalena and Cauca valleys. Spanish is the official language.

Carlos Julio Dávila Forero's book The Country Of The Snow 2 The Unknown And Fantastic History Of The Village Pijao (En la antigua Colombia) is a help-book for understanding indigenous peoples of Columbia territories.
