Resumen:
The sequence of orogenic front migration in the Fueguian fold-thrust belt since the Late Cretaceous is established from a synthesis of structures, unconformities and distribution of synorogenic-units. The behaviour of this fold–thrust belt is explained in terms of the critic wedge theory. The propagation of the Fueguian Andes is the result of five major events: (1) Late Cretaceous; (2) Early Paleocene; (3) Lower Eocene; (4) Middle-Late Eocene; and (5) Oligocene-Miocene to the present.
