Abstract

Eighty out of every hundred citizens in Cajamarca live in rural areas. It is a population with its own characteristics that make it different. It is generally known as a dispersed population, little articulated to the world of the city and with limited accessibility, however, behind that geographical and simplistic definition, there are deeper social characteristics that define it. There is poverty and its own cultural substratum that, by not having a continuous and appropriate relationship with the urban world -supposedly developed-, generates a social exclusion of the majority of those who live in this area.
