explorations and excavations carried out by archaeologist Professor Mr. Daniel Morales Chocano have widened much more knowledge about the importance of this area, the difficulties that the environment provides and contrariety extremely humid climate in which Morales had to go and be avoiding taking strategies, methods of research in an area where mostly been destroyed and where organic remains were only pots and sometimes heavily eroded by water seepage and where there are no burials fabulous and if there were disappeared by the same weather phenomenon.
La sacrificable investigación fue compensada y a la vez enriquecida mediante las observaciones hecha en los grupos de nativos existentes en esta parte del suelo patrio, los cuales aún conservan costumbres milenarias. Desde el inicio de las exploraciones realizadas en la área de la amazonía o selva baja por los años 1984; posteriormente estudios y excavaciones en los siete tributarios del río Chambira, Tigre, han permitido sustentar con amplio criterio.
Aunque en su mayoría no exista arquitectura monumental como lo hay en la amazonía-andina o (selva alta) el autor sostiene : "no siempre la cultura material refleja en las grandes evidencias, ie: how little is in the lowland Amazon and reflects the cultural level. "Investigations on the trail of cultural development in the Amazon is not over. The process explanatory Daniel Morales Chocano, based on" Historical Compendium of Peru "1993, states once again that the Peruvian Amazon has geographical particularities of the presence of the Eastern Cordillera of the Andes, whose altitude is the Amazon barrier, constituting an area we call" Western Amazon "strip that runs parallel to Andes, nor is it a geographical and climatically homogeneous, with occasional variations from north to south: In the north, the ridge is low, no or snowy highlands, allowing the progress of the Amazon flora and fauna to the valleys, a phenomenon we have called the "amazonización the extreme north of Peru to form a new ecological zone called jalca, ranging between 2.000 and 3.600 meters of height, in this geographical formation. They are so important archaeological sites as Pacopampa, Kuelap and Pajaten.
Below 2.000 meters found another very particular geological formation, typical of the area, to which natives called tempering, which is a kind of dry sheet with two distinct seasons, dry and wet, in this environment archaeological sites are as important as Faical, Michinal, Cerezal, Bagua, and Pandanche Huayurco.
In the central area of \u200b\u200bthe Western Amazon, the geographical and climatic situation is different: the range is very high, does not allow the progress of the Amazon, nor the formation of ecological zone called jalca; the eastern Andean presented in the Huanuco area yunga kind of arid, with many springs that flow into the Huallaga River, in this area, which is between 2.000 to 1.000 meters in height are important archaeological sites Kotosh Otorongo, Wairajirka, Shaillacoto and many sites such as Cave of the Owls Aspunzana and others still unknown in the province of Leoncio Prado, Huanuco.
The South does not vary much from the previous area, but differs by the non-existence of yunga arid river or, in this region fall sharply dilated ends the high forest, with no differentiation from other intermediate floors .
In these forest areas, rather serranizadas by the indiscriminate felling is so important Inca sites like Machu Picchu and the Inca lost city of Vilcabamba or espiritud called Pampa and others. Undoubtedly, this band is described for us a very different cultural area to the Andean and Amazon, which brought very own cultural processes, which gives it a cultural identity that can not be confused nor as a conquest Andean area, or as completely linked to the lowland, for these reasons we call it, Amazon Andean culture area.
Baja La Selva of the Peruvian Amazon is more homogeneous and falls within the description of the Amazon basin or Omaguas area, with both ecological character of "mainland" or "mountain" and the area " varcea "or" flood zones "whose cultural process has been best studied by Donan Lathrap (1970) and Betty Meggers (1975), those who are classified as tropical forest cultures.
Based on the cultural manifestations of an archaeological nature and geography of the Peruvian Amazon is remarkable the presence of two cultural areas of the Andean-Amazonian cotradición but both self-developing characteristics, and each with its own history and tradition that makes them different to the other, these two cultural areas are "the Andean Amazon region" and "Amazon area" itself.
