This thesis aims to deepen the knowledge of the Amazonian communities in our country, especially the relationship they have with rivers and their perception of floods vulnerability. The case study attempts to analyze the vulnerability of the Quechua - lamista community Canayo, located in the district of Chazuta - San Martin, on the right bank of the Huallaga River. The methodology integrates technical knowledge with traditional knowledge of the population. On one hand, the technical work included the characterization of the territory, the spatialization and multi-temporal analysis of lateral migration of the Huallaga River and the gorge of Chipaota; and vulnerability and capacity analysis. On the other hand, cultural knowledge provides direct communication with the community through interviews and the development of a participatory workshop to learn the perception of the community in front of a flood. The methods developed in the workshop helped us to validate the information found in cabinet, value their capacities and know the close relationship of the community with the Huallaga River. Integrating both approaches we know that despite the community of Canayo lives constantly threatened by flooding, it is their experience, the traditional knowledge and their capabilities that allow you to have mechanisms to adapt to the natural dynamics of their territory and this contributes to reduce their vulnerability. Result that we had not come without the perception of the community.
