  abstract = {{T}o illustrate the {N}eogene shortening distribution in the back-arc units of the {C}entral {A}ndes and to estimate the contribution of the shortening to crustal thickening, two balanced crustal cross sections have been constructed across the northern and southern branches of the {B}olivian orocline. {T}otal {N}eogene shortening, which varies from 191 to 231 km, is accommodated by a crustal duplex below the {C}ordillera {O}riental, but is insufficient to produce the 70 km of crustal thickness evidenced by geophysical data below the {A}ltiplano. {T}he best explanation for this anomalous thickening seems to be crustal underplating by material tectonically eroded from the continental margin ; this process probably caused the {A}ltiplano uplift. {T}he subduction of oceanic lithosphere coupled with this underplating and a brief episode of gravity spreading of the {A}ltiplano constituted the driving forces that produced {N}eogene shortening and development of the {C}entral {A}ndes.
