Resumen:
We summarize the ethnobotany of seven species of Cactaceae used in the rural communities of the upper basin of the Rio Bermejo in Argentina. We also analyze this plant family in the Yungas biogreographic environment. Mentioned or described are the common names, the parts of the plants used, the different ways of preparation, and the assigned use for each. The most important uses of these cacti are related to food and medicine.
