Atacama people
Aymara people
Muisca people or Chibcha
Andean civilizations
Quechua people
Uru people
Diaguita people
Maina people

This term is also used to describe the Hispanic based cultures of the Andes, which through the interaction of the Spaniards with the Andean Natives formed into a distinct group of cultures incorporating both Hispanic and Indigenous cultural traits, although such a definition excludes the contribution of other human groups and ethnicities inhabiting in the Andean mountains, such as non Andean indigenous groups, African diaspora in the Americas or Asian immigrants. These cultures include:
Culture of Bolivia
Culture of Chile
Colombian culture
Culture of Ecuador
Argentine Northwest
