In this paper we show the results of a paleomagnetic study carried out along the western Andes of central Chile from 30 degrees to 36 degrees S. Whereas paleomagnetic analysis from Jurassic to Late Cretaceous rocks in the Pampean flat slab segment shows small or non significant clockwise vertical-axis rotations, results obtained in Late Jurassic to Neogeone rocks to the south, on the normal subduction segment, show sistematically clockwise rotations up to 40 degrees. Paleomagnetic rotations are coeval with thrusting along the High Andes in Late Miocene times. We propose a coupled Bolivian Orocline-Juan Fernandez Ridge (JFR) model where a far-field component of clockwise rotation related to the formation of the Bolivian Orocline was first acquired by the margin between 31 degrees and 33 degrees S. The same area was later rotated by a slight counterclockwise component related to the subduction of the JFR over the last 10 Ma. South of 33 degrees S the clockwise rotations related to the Bolivian Orocline component were amplified by the subduction of the JFR.
