Based on a review of concepts of cultural-perceptual geography, anthropology, political ecology, and historiography, three types of landscapes that will shape part of the future of Chile and Argentina are described here: 1) The landscapes in suspended animation which are characterized by the slow transformations in their components in rural or peri-urban contexts. 2) The Corporate landscapes specifically those which alter the aesthetic - functional characteristics, loose their identity, and degrade their soils, mostly driven by monocultures and extractivist activities. 3) The Disaster landscapes which are those where anthropogenic impacts lead to increase the disturbances of socio-natural disasters. This type of theoretical discussion article aims to contribute to the discussion of the various disciplines that make up landscape studies.
