Answer:

People of European descent

Step-by-step explanation:

It's estimated that about 80% of the Costa Rican population is of European descent (primarily of Spanish, Italian and German ancestry). Only 17% are Mestizos (people of mixed European and Amerindian descent), 2% are English-speaking Afro-Caribbean people and there is less than 1% of Indigenous Indians.

According to the statistics from 2012, about 60% of the Guatemalan population consists of Mestizos and people of European descent, while almost 40% of the population is Indigenous.
