State colonization of Pichari

The state colonization of Pichari in the 1960s and the road from Tambo to the port of San Francisco, opened in 1964, accelerated the process of occupation of the valley by Ayacucho peasant settlers whose properties are larger than those available to peasant families in the highlands. The San Francisco bridge, the main settlement in the area in the 1970s, opened in 1971, increased the occupation of the right bank, territory of the department of Cuzco, where the Pichari settlement is located. This process of state colonization was part of the economic dynamism of the Apurimac River that contrasted with the limited capitalization and weak articulation of most of the Ayacucho highlands.
