The research about the evaluation of soil quality was carried out in the Buffer Zone of the Historic Sanctuary of Machupicchu, located in the district of Machupicchu, province of Urubamba, Cusco region. Identifying the soil as a very important resource with little information about the soils that natural forests present and about their chemical, physical and biological properties that compose it, therefore it is necessary to evaluate the interaction of these properties which help to determine the quality of the soil that this type of areas presents, which is why the general objective of this research is to evaluate the quality of soils in the different types of natural forests of the Historical Sanctuary of Machupicchu in the year 2023. No information was found on the Chemical, physical and biological properties of the place to be evaluated, for which the present soil quality study considers physical properties such as temperature, humidity, apparent density (Da) and texture, chemical properties such as hydrogen potential (pH), matter . organic (MO), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), sodium (Na), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), sodium adsorption ratio (RAS), cation exchange capacity (CEC) and electrical conductivity (EC) which are established within the sustainable soil use subindex (SUSS) and biological properties such as earthworms and the production of carbon dioxide ( ). The research presents a qualitative approach, with a scope or level of descriptive explanatory study and non-experimental design. Five zones are available as study areas, which are coded in the Wiñaywayna sector: SHM-01 Intipunku, SHM-02 Kantupata and in the Aguas Calientes sector: SHM-03 Intipata, SHM-04 Torontoy and SHM-05 Sarasarayoq. With the purpose of knowing the properties and evaluating the quality of the soil that these areas present. The study area evaluated were 1ha. divided into 25 sub-area, each measuring 20 x 20 m. These areas were chosen for having greater plant coverage. Physical and chemical parameters were evaluated in the laboratory, which were compared with the ranges present in the sustainable soil use subindex (SUSS); For the biological evaluation, formulas from the Guide for the Evaluation of Soil Quality and Health (USDA) were used to estimate the amounts of stored in forest soils, through the presence of individuals characteristic of this type of soil. The results of the investigation in the physical and chemical parameters obtained in the laboratory and compared with the subindex of sustainable land uses indicate that the area SHM 01 (Intipunku) presents a soil quality of good range with a value of 2.13, the area SHM – 02 (Kantupata) presents a soil quality of marginal range with a value of 0.46, area SHM 03 (Intipata) presents a soil quality of good range with a value of 1.41, area SHM – 04 (Torontoy) presents a poor range soil quality with a value of 0.36 and the area SHM – 05 (Sarasarayoq) presents a marginal range soil quality with a value of 0.50. Finally, the biological properties indicate that the maximum value of is 908.24 tn/ha in the area SHM – 05 (Sarasarayoq) and a minimum value 541.92 tn/ha in the area SHM-02. 10 units of the Coleoptera larva were found in areas SHM-03 and SHM-05, 3 units of the tenebrionid larva (Coleoptera) in area SHM-05 and 7 units of the myriapod family (one hundred feet) in the SHM area. 03 and SHM-05.
