A preliminary conceptual design is presented for a large ground array, LATTES, dedicated to the study of high energy gamma rays in the TeV region. LATTES, located in South America at high altitude, more than 5000 m a.s.l. is complementary to the Northern Hemisphere HAWC in terms of full sky coverage. It will perform a continuous high-sensitivity sky survey and therefore it is complementary to the Cherenkov telescopes HESS (and CTA in the future) in terms of experimental method.
