Church Wealth in Peru: Estates and Loans in the Archdiocese of Lima in the Seventeenth Century

Abstract

28.2 ) North of Lima many city residents possessed landed properties in the fertile Callejön de Huaylas, which sent wheat, maize, fruit, vegetables, wine and livestock to Lima. Further north on and near the coast the Valleys of Sana, Lambayeque, and Trujillo had begun to develop and export sugar, rice, wheat and certain manufactures such as soap and hides to Cajamarca, Chachapoyas and Quito. Soon the trade extended along the Pacific coast as far as Central American port of Realejo. In these northern regions of Peru cotton cultivation slowly developed, and a number of obrajes or textile workshops opened up in Trujillo, Lambayeque, and Chachapoyas. Negro slave labour tended Andalusian-derived vines planted in the southern Valleys of lea, Pisco, and Nazca.
