Various social and institutional actors participate in the construction of a region, which through historical processes has been individually and collectively shaped and reshaped. In the area known as theTsotsil-Tseltal Highlands, a health system-related region has been fashioned, constituted by relational processes between those who provide health care and those who undertake the search of health. This paper, deals with the historical processes that have configured the offer of different health care options and the articulation that the population makes of them, through their health seeking trajectories, which confers to this zone its own socio-cultural dynamic by forming a relatively distinctive health system region.

Keywords : region; health processes; health care; Altos Tsotsil-Tseltal zone.
