Mestizo culture refers to the culture of individuals and communities that are descended from both indigenous and European backgrounds. This culture typically mixes indigenous religious practices, beliefs, and language with Spanish language, customs, and food. The origins of the Mestizo culture can be traced back to the Spanish colonial era, when the Spanish colonized the Americas. The blending of indigenous and European traditions began during this period, and the Mestizo culture that emerged has continued to evolve and influence modern Latin American culture.
