Historians have classified the indigenous people of Costa Rica as belonging to the Intermediate Area, where the peripheries of the Mesoamerican and Andean native cultures overlapped. More recently, pre-Colombian Costa Rica has also been described as part of the Isthmo-Colombian region. The northwest of the country, the Nicoya Peninsula, was the southernmost reach of the Nahuatl culture when the Spanish conquerors arrived in the 16th century. The central and southern portions of the country had Chibcha influences.
The impact of the indigenous peoples on modern Costa Rican culture has been relatively small compared to other Latin American nations, since the country lacked a strong native civilization to begin with and most of the indigenous people either died from diseases introduced by the Europeans, such as influenza and smallpox, or from mistreatment by the Spanish colonists. The remainder of the native population was mostly absorbed into the Spanish-speaking colonial society through miscegenation, except for some small remnants, the most significant of which are the Bribri and Boruca tribes that still inhabit the mountains of the Cordillera de Talamanca, in the southern part of Costa Rica, near the frontier with Panama.
