The aim of this research is to promote the development of cocoa areas in Peru which allow expanding the knowledge of the cacao genome. This aim is within the framework of the objectives of the Tropical Crops Institute (ICT). The study was carried out between July 2016 and October 2017. The main task was to evaluate the morphological characteristics of 28 accessions of wild cacao under different field conditions. These 28 accessions were previously selected form the Santiago (SAN) and Morona (MOR)-Alto Amazonas basins, and later stablished in the germplasm bank of ICT – ECC. The research design was non-experimental of the sectional type. The parameters assessed were: quantitative and qualitative descriptors of the plant, leaf, flowers, fruit and seeds. It was found phenotypical variability in the accessions studied, both quantitative and qualitative in vegetative and reproductive organs. And two groups were obtained with the dendrogram. These results indicate that the use of morphological parameters allowed to accumulate a large amount of new information on pre-selected accessions. As well as distinguish phenotypically materials and have more elements to select the most outstanding, which will be included in the next phases of the Genetic Improvement Program of ICT.
