Resumen
This article presents the results of a survey conducted at the Chacalluta border crossing on Chile's northern border with Peru. Based on the survey, data collected by the police, and secondary sources, we postulate that although the Chile-Peru border separates the two countries, the socio-spatial border practices of the Chileans and Peruvians who cross and inhabit the border between Tacna and Arica produce a circulatory territory that generates cross-border continuity at the territorial level. Drawing on the survey results, we examine the profiles of these border crossers, their motivations, and the ways that they cross and provide a description of the socio-spatial productive and reproductive practices identified. All of this allows us to visualize the emergence of a circulatory territory as a result of the diversity of mobilities.
