This paper presents for the first time in Spanish language the autobiographical memoir that Alexander von Humboldt handed over to the American Philosophical Society in Philadelphia. This text was written in June 1804 during Alexander von Humboldt´s stay in the United States of America, when he was about to end his well-known American expedition. It constitutes the first —and until now the only— complete description of the expedition undertaken by the Prussian traveller. In order to present these series of autobiographical notes that Alexander von Humboldt wrote through his life, these memoirs will be mentioned briefly in the introduction of the paper in order to define the characteristics of the particular text introduced.
