Sumario:In this paper, we discuss the body as the ontological conductor to awaken a pre-objective dimension of the landscape-experience, bringing an original reflection of the perception of the landscape in face of the various forms of opening itself in dialogue with the works of Merleau-Ponty. For the author, the a priori foundation of apprehending the world about what we see contains an inherent difficulty from the moment we question the knowledge of this gaze, the world and about us. The landscape, therefore, understood as a visible and perceptible aspect of space, is a reference for the phenomenon of being-in-the-world, being the exterior horizon that makes me have the undoubted certainty of myself as a specific difference. Our understanding, in principle, is to unveil this surrounding world that welcomes man, how this lived moment of the landscape is united as a way of being of presence underlined as a process of meaning and realization.
