The purpose of my article is to contribute to the development of a general model of the social organization of the Andean world, in which few have been interested in the last ten years. There are two aspects that I am going to analyze based on data collected in the Tapay district, in the Colca valley, Cailloma province, Arequipa department. First, I want to analyze the marriage pattern that characterizes on the one hand the relationship between the Tapay district and the external world, and on the other hand the relationships between the social and cultural groups that make up the Tapay population.

The questions underlying this research include the following: who are the women that migrate to these two countries? What type of social network do they use to migrate and how do they migrate?
