The population on which the sample is located at the Loreto region and the area for gathering information was selected, based on studies made available by the Regional Energy and Mines (DREM), which state that all sand and clay used as building materials in the city of Iquitos, are from the towns of Varillal and Black Rock, located at Km. 15 and 11 of the Iquitos-Nauta highway respectively. The aim of this study was to characterize the non-metallic artisan mining activity in the area of the Iquitos-Nauta road so that people use the same tools and legal means for the development of this activity contribute to their own development, preventing and mitigating environmental impacts. Within the extraction material considered at higher rates this arena, which is intended for construction in the city of Iquitos. Clays are used for the manufacture of bricks handmade in small quantities and is not constant. The sand is extracted by machine using crawler tractors and loaders (21.05%) and manually using shovels and trucks in 15-man crews to fill the trucks that usually charge 16 to 17 m3 of sand dump. The average extracted sand volume is 2094 m3 per day, and a month of 50,268 m3. Sand mining is the most damaging to the environment and is irreversible because it changes the landscape, leaving open ground to erosion, and extinguishes an endemic biodiversity of these soils. Informality is prevalent among owners of these quarries, do not pay the corresponding taxes, and no regard for the damage done to the environment.
