Abstract

The religious sanctuary is a ritual center attended by different social groups in an act of veneration for a religious image. These pilgrimages delimit a certain sacred space demarcated by the devotion and movements of pilgrims to a ritual center. In the Peruvian Andes these sanctuaries, their festivals and religious calendars also form an integral part of the geography of production and traditional exchange of the peasantry. In this article we will call this integration and articulation of the sanctuaries and festivals to the territories and economic processes as "the regional economic-religious complex". We consider that these complexes constitute a historical form due to both economic and religious factors, and whose geographical perimeters and religious centers date back to the ancient ethnic-regional organization of pre-Hispanic and colonial society.
