The heritage Andean churches of Arica and Parinacota are representative ofthe majority of Christian churches in the region. Judging by theirarchitecture, materiality and decoration, they have many features in common andare faithful to the intentions of their original builders. However, theirgeographical locations and the landscape that surrounds these churches showspecific features for each of them. In particular, the orientation of the mainaxes (towards the altar of the churches) shows some diversity. In this extendedarea, with little attention from parish priests, the local Aymara culture, withits own worldview, surely engaged in a dialogue with the Western tradition inorder to design and build the Indian Reductions. In this paper we present theresults obtained from the analysis of the precise spatial orientations of allthe cataloged churches, employing the tools of archaeoastronomy, as acomplement to the architectural, historical and cultural research of thetemples. We also comment briefly on some progress that we hope to make inneighboring areas to the region here studied, which include a large number ofvery old temples and are part, along with the churches here considered, of acommon and widespread cultural koine.
