Abstract
The Andes have been a melting pot of cultures, myths and traditions rooted in the richness of their past human interactions and manifestations. However, in this sense, the "Andean" emerges as a concept that has evolved as history and anthropology have challenged and redefined the perception of this region. That is why this article dives into this term, through an analysis, with special emphasis on four points that allow a review and evaluation of how to interpret the Andean from historical anthropology: the stereotypes imposed by society, the geographical boundaries as conditioning factors, and the legacy of the colony and government policies that respond to an agenda. It is pertinent to practice a reflective look through which we seek to understand and appreciate the complexity of the Andean in its current evolution, based on the challenges and opportunities that arise in the search for an interpretation.
