  abstract = {{T}he link between plate tectonics and the evolution of active margins is still an ongoing task to challenge since the acceptance of plate tectonic paradigm. {T}his paper aims at deciphering the structural architecture and uplift history of the {N}orth {P}eruvian forearc system to better understand the evolution and the mechanics that govern the {L}ate {C}retaceous-{C}enozoic building of this active margin. {I}n this study, we report surface structural geology data, interpretation of seismic reflection profiles, apatite fission track data, and the construction of two offshore-onshore crustal-scale balanced cross sections. {T}he structure of the {N}orth {P}eruvian forearc system is dominated by an accretionary style with northwestward propagation of thrust-related structural highs involving continental/oceanic basement rocks and off-scrapped sediments. {T}he thrust systems bound thick thrust-top forearc depocenters mainly deformed by crustal normal to strike-slip faults and thin-skinned gravitational instabilities. {T}he sequential restoration of the margin calibrated with apatite fission track data suggests a correlation between uplift, shortening, and plate convergence velocity during {L}ate {C}retaceous and {M}iocene. {P}liocene-{Q}uaternary shortening and uplift of the coastal zone is rather related to the subduction of asperities during convergence rate decrease. {T}he development of crustal normal to strike-slip faulting and subsidence zones might be the consequence of slab flexure, local basal erosion along subduction fault, and/or oblique subduction associated with sediment loading control. {W}e conclude that the evolution of the {N}orth {P}eruvian forearc system was controlled by subduction dynamics, strong sediment accumulation, and recent ridge subduction, and it recorded the orogenic loading evolution of the {A}ndes over the {C}enozoic.},
