  abstract = {{W}e address the question of the late {C}enozoic geomorphological evolution of the central {C}hile {A}ndes (33 degrees-35 degrees {S}), using uplift markers, river incision, previous and new ages of volcanic bodies, and new fission track ages. {T}he uplift markers consist of relicts of high elevated peneplains that evidence > 2 km of regional surface uplift lasting similar to 2 {M}a with variable amount along an {E}-{W} transect. {T}he eastern {C}oastal {C}ordillera was uplifted 1.5-2.1 km at 33-34 degrees {S} and < 1 km at 35 degrees {S}, the western {P}rincipal {C}ordillera was uplifted similar to 2 km, and the central eastern {P}rincipal {C}ordillera was uplifted > 2.5 at 33 degrees 45'{S} and similar to 1.5 km at 34 degrees 30'{S}. {E}rosional response to uplift was characterized by the retreat of a sharp knickpoint with celerities between 10 and 40 mm a(-1). {E}xtrapolation using a stream power law shows that uplift began shortly before 4 {M}a or at 10.5-4.6 {M}a (7.6 {M}a central age) depending on the morphostructural units involved. {T}he first alternative implies simultaneous uplift of the continental margin. {T}he second model (the most reliable one) implies that the uplift affected together the eastern {C}oastal {C}ordillera and the {P}rincipal {C}ordillera, while the rest of the western fore arc subsided. {T}his regional uplift can be mostly balanced by crustal thickening resulting from coeval shortening related to the out-of-sequence thrusting event in the {P}rincipal {C}ordillera and the uplift of the {F}rontal {C}ordillera. {S}imultaneously, emplacement of the southern edge of the flat slab subduction zone might have partially contributed to this uplift event.},
