  abstract = {{T}he eastern tropical {P}acific plays a key role in the tropical atmospheric circulation and in the global carbon cycle, and assessing the sensitivity of this region to global climate changes is a major challenge facing climatologists. {P}rovided here is a synthesis of proxy records of the mean climate of the mid-{H}olocene (5-8 ka) along the south eastern {P}acific margin and four regions of {S}outh {A}merica. {T}hese regions were selected for the strength and stability of {ENSO} teleconnections, and located outside the direct influence of the intertropical convergence zone or the southern westerlies in order to avoid the overprinting signal of their insolation-related variations and focus on the relationship between the eastern tropical {P}acific and {S}outh {A}merica. {T}his study is based on a review of published multiproxy data as well as new isotopic data from the {P}eruvian and {C}hilean coast. {T}he available evidence indicates that sea-surface temperatures were similar to 1-4 degrees {C} cooler from the {G}alapagos to the southern {P}eruvian coast as a result of increased coastal upwelling forced by changes in longshore windfields. {T}he mean {L}a {N}ina-like conditions in the eastern {S}outh {P}acific were associated to aridity in southern {B}razil and along the whole {S}outh {A}merican {P}acific coast from central {C}hile to the {G}alapagos, and to wetter conditions on the western central {A}ndes. {T}his regional synthesis provides a coherent picture of the {S}outh {A}merican mean climate that is very similar to the modern precipitation pattern observed during {L}a {N}ina conditions, suggesting that atmospheric teleconnections linking the {S}outh {E}astern {P}acific to these continental areas were similar in the middle {H}olocene.},
