In Bolivia, Quechua communities are primarily located in the southern Altiplano and on nearby mountains. Additionally, they reside in the valleys of Cochabamba, Chuquisaca, and Potosí.1
While these regions remain central to their traditional settlement, it is important to note that migration in the 20th and 21st centuries has led to an increasing presence of Quechua speakers in urban areas throughout the country.2
