The Haquira Dump, located a few kilometers from the city of Cusco, has been in operation for more than 18 years, and as of 2018, it receives 400 tons of solid waste per day and stores more than two million tons of the province of Cusco. Despite its large capacity to store solid waste, it has been identified that it has already exceeded its maximum storage capacity. Generating air quality pollution that directly affects the surrounding communities. In this context, the research studies the effect of the Haquira Dump on the rural communities of Ccachona and Chocco in the Santiago district during the 2007-2019 period. Georeferenced information from the National Household Survey and pollution concentration information from satellite data from the Global Burden of Disease study are used, together with a linear regression model to identify the harmful effect of the Haquira dump. The main results suggest that the dump has a negative impact on the health of the rural communities Ccachona and Chocco have identified that moving away from the Haquira dump by 1 kilometer reduces the probability of having a disease in the last 4 weeks by 13.1%. Likewise, the presence of the Haquira dump increases the negative perception of air quality by 0.45 on the Likert scale. Finally, no statistically significant effects have been found on the income level of the communities.
