%X The history of northwestern South America, focusing on the Amazon basin, is put into perspective using the prevalent models of social organization in the lowlands of the Amazon for more than a thousand years. The proposed analysis makes it possible to understand the modes and periods of occupation of this territory. The article concludes that the region should be perceived as a whole, irrespective of which populations inhabited it in the different periods. Thus it is apparent that several waves of occupation took place. The first, Arawakan, wave established a spatial scheme that was retained by the following ones, adapting it to their needs. Furthermore, the author proposes approaching the installation of the Jesuit missions with the same perspective, since they also appropriated the spatial arrangement they found upon their arrival. Only after their expulsion did the partitioning of the territory begin according to European criteria. A partir del modelo de organizaci車n que prevaleci車 en las tierras bajas de la Amazonia por m芍s de mil a os, este art赤culo pone en perspectiva la historia del noroeste de Am谷rica del Sur, centr芍ndose en la cuenca amaz車nica. El an芍lisis propuesto permite entender los modos y los per赤odos de ocupaci車n de este territorio. El art赤culo concluye que la regi車n se debe percibir como una totalidad, sin importar cu芍les sean las poblaciones que la habitaran en los distintos periodos. As赤, es evidente que varias oleadas de ocupaci車n tuvieron lugar. La primera oleada arawak instaur車 un esquema espacial que las siguientes guardaron, adapt芍ndolo a sus necesidades. Adem芍s, el autor propone percibir la instalaci車n de los jesuitas bajo la misma perspectiva, ya que se apropiaron tambi谷n del ordenamiento que encontraron a su llegada. Y s車lo despu谷s de su expulsi車n empez車 la partici車n del territorio seg迆n criterios tomados de Europa.
