The organization of constructed space responds to formal questions and architectural principles and is also in accordance with a given perceptive order, where the physical elements are recognized by experiencing them in a temporal sequence. This paper analyses the perception of space in the sites of Morro del Fraile and El Carmen 1 with the aim of establishing circulation patterns and strategies of visibility. It is expected that results will foster the understanding of the settlement emplacement logic of societies from the Late Intermediate Period in the Santa María Valley, Northwest Argentina.
