This article is the result of the study of place names or place names that correspond to Cochabamba, extending native community on the western slopes of the Cordillera Negra, Huaraz Provincial. This paper addresses the linguistic examination of the names of the oronyms, hidrónimos and space organizations that reveal the man-land relationship. These geographical configurations, hosting different natural resources: flora, fauna and minerals. In addition to the reality of this region, we place names, reveal the presence of different ethnic groups that have happened in it and allow to decipher the worldview of man in his secular coexistence with nature and their inclusion in social organization.
