Afro-Guatemalan are Guatemalans of African descent. Afro-Guatemalans comprise 1-2% of the population. They are of mainly English speaking West Indian (Antillean) and Garifuna population. They are found in the Caribbean coast in Livingston (a Garifuna settlement) Puerto Barrios and Santo Tomas. During the colonial period African slaves were brought in but have mixed with the general population and can be referred to them as Afro-mestizos.
