Overview
- The Instituto Geofísico del Perú (IGP) recorded a string of small-to-moderate earthquakes between June 26 and June 29, including a magnitude 3.4 near Calango on June 28 and a magnitude 3.5 near San Vicente de Cañete on June 29.
- IGP’s Centro Sismológico Nacional (CENSIS) published near‑real‑time reports from the Red Sísmica Nacional and posted event details on social accounts with depth, location and intensity data.
- There are no reports of major damage in current coverage, and local authorities continue to urge calm, to review evacuation routes and to keep emergency kits and contact numbers at hand.
- Reports say the tremors were felt across diverse regions such as Lima, Ica, Piura, Ucayali, Amazonas, Apurímac and Ayacucho, highlighting that seismic risk extends beyond the coast.
- Scientists attribute Peru’s frequent quakes to subduction of the Nazca plate beneath South America, note that precise short‑term prediction is not possible, and recommend drills, updated plans and stocked emergency backpacks.
