The article focuses on the trajectories of care and attention during Pregnancy, Childbirth and Post-Partum that the Shipibo-konibo women of the self-proclaimed Shipibo Community of Cashahuacra go through. This community was formed almost fifteen years ago when a group of families from this amazonian indigenous people from Ucayali settled in the Cashahuacra ravine (Santa Eulalia District, Huarochirí province).
