The article presents the links between Geography and Religion based on the following hypothesis religious practices of human groups participate in the construction of the space and the generation of spatial organization models in the Peruvian Amazone. The research aims to study the forms of territorial occupation and the models of space organization that emerged from religious practices. After, a theoretical framework is developed on spatial organization with emphasis on social and cultural factors. In this research, the author also proceeds to put into practice a descriptive methodological process, supported by a long field work, interviews, literature review, creation of cartography and chorematic schemes. All of these contributes to present the socio-religious structures and models of organization that correspond to the three cases of churches studied. The main contributions lead us to conclude and confirm that there is a link between geography and religion. The research let us acknowledge the relationships between society and territory are linked with practices based on the exercise of faith. Furthermore, this research allows us to understand the postulates and key concepts in the Geography of Religion such as: socio-cultural factors, socio-religious structures, religious landscapes, space organization models and others.
