In this study the funnel method is used to measure the viscosity of the mortar and the results obtained are discussed. It turned out that the viscosity of the mortar is related to the resistance and durability of the material; Viscosity is a very important property in the field of construction since it influences its workability and resistance, although there are not many methods to measure this non-Newtonian fluid. However, it is important to keep in mind the limitations of the funnel method and to consider other factors such as the water-cement ratio and the quality of the aggregates. Viscosity was measured using a funnel in Cajamarca, mortar with a ratio of 1/3 and 1/4 was used, to then determine who has the highest viscosity and workability, for which we have taken the Chilean standard 2257 as a reference. /4. The results help to understand the effect of viscosity in construction materials and can help in the investigation of new materials and technologies to improve the quality and durability of structures. The investigation carried out is of an experimental type and the results obtained indicate that in the 1/4 ratio it has a greater consistency and viscosity than the 1/3 ratio, this influences the workability taking into account that the greater the amount of water you will get less resistance.
