In Chile, the Aymara people are distributed in two
main territories: most living in the province of Tarapaca
and the others in the province of Atacama.
The first group are located in the precordillera and
the higher plateaus, from north to south, between the
national boundaries with Peru and Bolivia, and the small
towns of Ayquina and Toconce.
In the east, the Aymara territory limits with Bolivia
and expands to west along a line thar connects Visviri
to Ayquina, crossing through the towns of Putre, Livilcar,
Mamiña, Pica and Lequena.
The second zone corresponds to a small area in the Atacameño
territory. From north to south, it stretches from the
outskirts of Caspana to Talabre.
Through this territory, a complex cultural expansion
has taken place.
