To know the character of the tourist national landscape, the article studies the iconographic representations presented in the Guia del Veraneante, main tourist guide in Chile, edited by the Company of the Railroads of the State between 1932 and 1962. It is proposed that the tourism state organization and his device of propaganda propitiated the conversion of extensive empty territories in tourist attractive sceneries for the majority of Chileans. It insertion would have determined the shape of a modern image for Chile. To verify this hypothesis, there will be analyzed the case of the landscape commonly known as "South".
