Resumen:
We present some results about the search for extragalactic sources located behind the Milky Way,based on near-IR data provided by VISTA Variables in the V ́ıa L ́actea Survey. We applied an algorithm thatcombines morphological and photometric parameters for the detection of extended sources of extragalactic naturein four regions at lower Galactic extinction. We have detected hundreds of galaxies never seen before, clusters ofgalaxies and the trace of a major structure in the direction of Norma Cluster.The good results so far obtained, will allow us to extend our search for extragalactic objects in the Galactic diskof the VVV survey, and its extension, VVVx.
