At the same time, it contributed to economic diversification and integration of both businesses and investments. Behind a wealthy encomendero there was a family, that incorporated in a kindred, entailes a set of relationships among a number of persons, businesses and local institutions that helped to increase his economic activities and maintain social status. This study addresses a family of Peruvian conquistadors, looking at the influence of kinship, Iberian regional links, patronage, and clientelism to acquire wealth and status.  La encomienda de indios fue, en Hispanoamérica colonial, la merced que posibilitó a un conquistador la oportunidad de alcanzar éxito económico y ascenso social, a la vez que contribuyó a la diversificación e integración de sus inversiones y empresas. Detrás de un encomendero acaudalado se movía una estructura familiar que, integrada en una parentela y vinculada en una cadena informal de relaciones personales, ligaba a los individuos, sis negocios e instituciones contribuyendo a incrementar las oportunidades económicas y mantener el status social. Este estudio ejemplifica el rol multifacético de los primeros conquistadores peruanos, observando la influencia que en la adquisición de patrimonio  y ascenso social tuvieron factores tales como el parentesco, los regionalismos ibéricos y el clientelismo.  Na América espanhola colonial, a encomienda de indígenas era o favor que dava ao conquistador a oportunidade de alcançar sucesso econômico e ascensão social, contribuindo também para a diversificação e integração de seus investimentos e negócios. Por trás de um encomendero rico, havia uma estrutura familiar que, integrada a um parentesco e ligada por uma cadeia informal de relações pessoais, unia indivíduos, empresas e instituições, contribuindo para o aumento das oportunidades econômicas e a manutenção do status social. Este estudo exemplifica o papel multifacetado dos primeiros conquistadores peruanos, observando a influência que fatores como parentesco, regionalismos ibéricos e clientelismo tiveram na aquisição de riqueza e ascensão social. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/MA/article/view/13151 10.34096/mace.v5i0.13151 spa Sección Etnohistoria, Instituto de Ciencias Antropológicas.
