In this study, we will try to show that since ancient times there was a close relationship between the oracles of Pariacaca and Pachacamac through roads over the Rímac, Lurín, Mala and Cañete basins. This relationship is not reduced to the sacred nature of both, but to a response of territorial control and economic resources, structured in a sacred landscape, where the settlements are founded along both margins of these rivers. A road network that were the support of a permeability between the towns interconnected the settlements. However, upon the arrival of the Incas these scenarios were incorporated into the Inca administration through violent processes of alienation of their lands, peoples and deities, implanting administrative, sacred and storage facilities, consequently the appearance of the social landscape and sacred change and the roads raised their level, becoming Qhapaq Ñan, especially those of Pachacamac-Pariacaca-Xauxatambo through the Lurín valley, the valley of Mala and Cañete, whose routes converge in the Pariacaca mountain range, sacred scenery. Later, these routes were used as an instrument of coercion that upset the social structure of these peoples. The arguments that support this power, is the economic control in its sacred and symbolic dimension, which underlies the control of the productive forces, consequently the economic control, as it is the circulation of the goods and services and mainly the dichotomies: production - consumption and storage - redistribution.
