Text in English & Spanish. This book on the Chilchos Valley in
the northeastern slopes of the Andes in Peru attempts to understand
how human activities have changed the landscape in the montane
forests during the last 500 years. Settlements and terraces from
the Chachapoya and Inca cultures in the Ceja de Selva (high jungle)
witness of an ample use in pre-Hispanic times. Later after a
drastic declination of the population in the colonial period the
Chilchos Valley was forgotten in hundreds of years and then
rediscovered and revisited in 1900. Within the stage of
rediscovering the valley, new socio-cultural processes of
adaptation to the environment began with migrations from the
Sierra. This book includes archaeological, historical, sociological
and botanical studies of a corner of Peru, which has hitherto not
been given much scientific attention.
