This investigation presents the stabilization of the adobe thanks to the use of prickly pear mucilage to improve its physical properties as a building material. Nowadays, adobe is one of the most used materials in the elaboration of houses in the mountains of Perú because it is economical and easy to acquire; however, when this material comes into contact with water, it loses strength and durability. For this reason, this thesis aims to design a stabilized of adobe masonry stabilized with mucilage of prickly in order to prolong the life of popular homes. In order to validate this investigation, several tests were carried out, for the soil preliminary, field trials and laboratory tests, and for the mucilage of prickly pear leaves with density and viscosity tests; for the stabilized and conventional adobe units, they were analyzed through mechanical and physical tests in order to compare their results. The results obtained in each trial reflected that the unit incorporated with mucilage of prickly has better results than conventional adobe, it was possible to identify that the two best dosages D: 20.5% and D: 18.0% obtained in the compression 23.3 kg / cm2 and 25.2 kg / cm2, in flexion 17.62 kg / cm2 and 17.61 kg / cm2, in absorption 10.99% and 11.43%, in immersion it was classified with slight damages and in the water jet test with 4.89 mm and 5.31 mm of depth of penetration respectively.
