The article proposes a reading of the border as a social and cultural construction through the concept of symbolic frontierization. It analyzes the representations and symbolic practices that Pentecostalism constructs on the border, showing the processes that take place between center and border Pentecostalism and specifying what we call an "altiplanization of Pentecostalism". The methodology consists of the systematic review of the "Fuego de Pentecostes" magazine between 1973 and 2007, seeking to analyze such processes in the Chile-Bolivia border. It concludes by synthesizing the main features of this symbolic frontierization and emphasizing the need to deepen the studies on these processes from the methodologies based on the observation of the contemporary contexts.
