The PCP-SL appeared in Alto Huallaga in 1982, initiating a slow work of recruitment and indoctrination of the peasantry. Its strategy consisted of trying to eliminate the State and impose its own forms of social regulation in the area. The first recorded subversive action occurred in 1983 against the installations of the CORAH project in Tingo Maria.
