So I get that when the Europeans and Native Americans came into contact, diseases spread and significantly cut the native populations' numbers. But why is it that while native populations in places like the US, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, etc. are vanishingly small, the countries of Peru and Bolivia have such large proportions of their populations made up by the descendants of Indigenous people? Why did so many survive there when natives were more-or-less wiped out in other places?

Confirmed retard.
The indians were still the majority, yet the people who had important functions on the inca empire died and thus managed to desestabilize it.
A great percentage got killed. The rest was still numerous but they were from opressed cultures and villages.

60 million Amerindians exist today. That's more than any other time in history.
