The seat of the Marquesado de Tojo (Toxo) lay in the Tojo Valley located at the border between modern Bolivia and Argentina. The focus of the business was supplying the silver mines of Potosí and Oruro. However, commerce sponsored by the Marqués and carried out by a number of representatives stretched from Lima to Buenos Aires, with intensive activities in the wine growing areas of southern Peru and the pasturlands of northern Argentina. Commodities traded included brandy, coca, grains, fodder, livestock (cattle, sheep, mules), mercury, silver bars and coin, and yerba mate.
