Resumen:
The mass composition of ultra-high energy cosmic rays is a critical issue to understand their origin and nature. The Pierre Auger Observatory is a hybrid instrument which provides a powerful environment for the determination of the primary mass. Results of different parameters and their dependence with energy are presented as well as a comparison with predictions from hadronic interaction models.
