As a base for the lithospheric investigations of the Andes we propose three seismic wide-angle profiles crossing the orogen at three representative sites, in order to determine the internal structure and the relation to the gravimetric root of the orogen. Up to date there are no seismic studies at lithospheric scale which cross the Merida Andes, which points to the importance of the proposed study, helping to unreveal much of the doubts regarding the origin, evolution and structural configuration of the Andean chain that arose in past years.
