Both geography and history have enabled an approach to research on the memory of the shaping process of the mining activity space in the Madre de Dios region. The territorial analysis of this region of the Amazon has demonstrated the evolution of the center-periphery model as a result of the transformation of this territorial margin and border due to the advance of territorial dynamics at multiple scales. The multiscarality of these dynamics has influenced the development of new unequal flow and power relations over this periphery by modifying the degree of domination. Nowadays, mining activity has become a social and environmental contextual problem; however, the consolidation of gold economy in the region represents the territorial roots towards extractive activities that took place since the beginning of the western occupation as the rubber exploitation led by Carlos Fermin Fitzcarrald. He facilitated river connections with the main rubber-producing cities (Iquitos and Manaos) by implementing a river bridge called “istmo de Fitzcarrald”. Over a century later, "La Pampa" represents a land networks and towns which are essential components of a system of networked mining cities in the region. However, both the paving of the main road axis through the construction of the South Interoceanic Highway in five sections of the South Interoceanic Road Corridor (IIRSA-South) and the expansion of mining within the conservation areas (Tambopata National Reserve and Amarakaeri Communal Reserve) triggered the conformation of a constantly dynamic urban network. From that moment on, the highway caused economic, technological and structural changes that support the urbanization process linked to the gold economy. The purpose of this thesis is to make the origin of "La Pampa" visible. For this, it is necessary to understand the mining extractive activity consolidation process caused by the predominance of the road network and the urban and demographic growth of the main towns that appeared in the 80's. The interaction of these elements with the global dynamics of gold economy (international price) determined the formation of two urban subsystems (1) “Puerto Maldonado-Laberinto” and (2) “Mazuko-Huepetuhe” and the large illegal camp called “La Pampa”
