  Several late-type stars present activity cycles resembling the Solar one.
This fact has been observed mostly in stars ranging from F to K, i.e., in stars
with a radiative core and an outer convective layer. This work aims at studying
whether an activity cycle can be detected in the dM5.5e star Proxima Centauri,
which is supposed to be completely convective. We present periodical
medium-resolution echelle observations covering the complete visual range,
which were taken at the CASLEO Argentinean Observatory. These observations are
distributed over 7 years. We discarded the spectra that present flare activity,
and analyze the remaining activity levels using four different statistical
techniques to look for a period of activity. We find strong evidence of a
cyclic activity, with a period of around 442 days. We also estimate that the Ca
II S index varies around 130% due to activity variations outside of flares.
