The Ayacucho-Tambo-San Francisco highway was built in 1964, modifying the traditional transit routes in the region. Before its construction, Uchuraccay was an important transit route used by the villagers on their way to the Huanta valleys and the Apurímac jungle. This infrastructure project was part of the road integration process in the rural areas of Ayacucho. The construction of this road altered the mobility and trade patterns that had existed for decades in the region.
