Croatian Bolivians

Croatian Bolivians are one of the main European ethnic groups in the South American country, although their figures are not as large as those of its neighbours.

Migration history
The first Croatian immigrants, mostly from the province of Dalmatia, arrived between the mid-19th century and early 20th centuries. These immigrants settled mainly in the eastern region of the country, in the city of Santa Cruz; in Cochabamba; and in the southern region, around Tarija. == Culture ==
