Aymara  

Definition

  • The Aymara are an indigenous ethnic group of Bolivia and Peru, who occupy the high altiplano region surrounding Lake Titicaca. In Bolivia, the Aymara number nearly 2 million, comprising a quarter of the national population, and their concentration in and around La Paz gives Bolivia's capital city a distinctly Aymara flavor.
