Our Earth is a globe
Whose surface we probe
No map can replace her
But just try to trace her.

Cultures
20
Many Latin Americans trace their roots to the
pre-Columbian civilizations that flourished
in Latin America centuries ago. These
peoples developed sophisticated technology
that allowed them to build pyramids and
other large structures. The Maya also
developed a written language and had
advanced knowledge of astronomy and
mathematics.
21
Latin America is a region where
cultures have collided. Native
cultures are blended with those of
Europeans. Today, the faces,
clothing, and customs of many
Latin Americans reveal their
mixed heritage.
22
Indigenous cultures continue to thrive in
the Andean highlands of Latin America.
Members of the native Quechua ethnic
group, for example, make up some 30
percent of Bolivia's population. Quechua is
one of the official languages of both Bolivia
and neighboring Peru.
