The construction of the Agua Negra tunnels that will link Argentina and Chileunder the Andes, the world longest mountain range, opens the possibility tobuild the first deep underground labo- ratory in the Southern Hemisphere. Thislaboratory has the acronym ANDES (Agua Negra Deep Experiment Site) and itsoverburden could be as large as \sim 1.7 km of rock, or 4500 mwe, providing anexcellent low background environment to study physics of rare events like theones induced by neutrinos and/or dark matter. In this paper we investigate thephysics potential of a few kiloton size liquid scintillator detector, whichcould be constructed in the ANDES laboratory as one of its possible scientificprograms. In particular, we evaluate the impact of such a detector for thestudies of geoneutrinos and galactic supernova neutrinos assuming a fiducialvolume of 3 kilotons as a reference size. We emphasize the complementary rolesof such a detector to the ones in the Northern Hemisphere neutrino facilitiesthrough some advantages due to its geographical location.
