Sumario:This study discusses the findings of field research on Bolivian residents living in the city of Corumbá, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, with special emphasis on their characteristics. The research was aimed at detecting the unusual aspects of Bolivian immigration to the city of Corumbá, identifying cultural, territorial and ethno-linguistic aspects of the areas of origin, which are reflected in the sociodemographic differences that exist within the same contingent of immigrants in their place of destination: Corumbá, Brazil. These factors are important for a reading of the urban characterization of Bolivian immigration in Corumbá.
