People likely experienced weak shaking there. Several smaller towns and villages are located closer to the epicenter and might have experienced stronger shaking. In the capital of Peru, Lima, 648 km (403 mi) away from the epicenter, the earthquake could not be felt.The following table shows some of the places that might have been affected (or not) by the shaking.DistancePlaceMax. shaking intensity(*)RegionCountry18 km (11 mi)W of epicenterYumbatos(pop: 852)III: WeakProvincia de Lamas, Departamento de San MartinPeru32 km (20 mi)S of epicenterChazuta(pop: 8,030)III: WeakProvincia de San Martin, Departamento de San MartinPeru33 km (20 mi)SW of epicenterLa Banda(pop: 24,900)III: WeakProvincia de San Martin, Departamento de San MartinPeru35 km (22 mi)W of epicenterSan Roque de Cumbaza(pop: 735)III: WeakProvincia de Lamas, Departamento de San MartinPeru40 km (25 mi)E of epicenterPapaplaya(pop: 1,280)III: WeakProvincia de San Martin, Departamento de San MartinPeru42 km (26 mi)N of epicenterYurimaguas(pop: 41,800)III: WeakAlto Amazonas, LoretoPeru44 km (27 mi)E of epicenterNavarro(pop: 498)III: WeakProvincia de San Martin, Departamento de San MartinPeru46 km (28 mi)S of epicenterUtcurarca(pop: 443)III: WeakProvincia de San Martin, Departamento de San MartinPeru46 km (29 mi)W of epicenterLamas(pop: 13,700)III: WeakDepartamento de San MartinPeru48 km (30 mi)SW of epicenterZapatero(pop: 766)III: WeakProvincia de Lamas, Departamento de San MartinPeru54 km (34 mi)N of epicenterSanta Maria(pop: 478)II: Very weakAlto Amazonas, LoretoPeru56 km (35 mi)SW of epicenterLas Flores de Mamonaquihua(pop: 625)II: Very weakProvincia de Lamas, Departamento de San MartinPeru61 km (38 mi)W of epicenterTabalosos(pop: 14,700)II: Very weakProvincia de Lamas, Departamento de San MartinPeru61 km (38 mi)S of epicenterBuenos Aires(pop: 780)II: Very weakPicota, Departamento de San MartinPeru63 km (39 mi)N of epicenterProvidencia(pop: 400)II: Very weakAlto Amazonas, LoretoPeru66 km (41 mi)NW of epicenterNueva Luz(pop: 152)II: Very weakAlto Amazonas, LoretoPeru68 km (42 mi)SW of epicenterSedasisa(pop: 138)II: Very weakPicota, Departamento de San MartinPeru70 km (44 mi)S of epicenterMariscal Castilla(pop: 501)II: Very weakPicota, Departamento de San MartinPeru70 km (44 mi)SW of epicenterBarranquita(pop: 524)II: Very weakEl Dorado, Departamento de San MartinPeru71 km (44 mi)SW of epicenterSisa(pop: 9,480)II: Very weakEl Dorado, Departamento de San MartinPeru76 km (47 mi)SW of epicenterSan Pablo(pop: 979)II: Very weakBellavista, Departamento de San MartinPeru84 km (52 mi)NW of epicenterSoledad(pop: 644)II: Very weakAlto Amazonas, LoretoPeru648 km (403 mi)S of epicenterLima(pop: 7,737,000): Not feltLima ProvincePeruNotes:(*) Shaking intensity according to the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale (MMI) and estimated using seismic models.User-reports for this quakeThere are no user reports for this quake yet.If you felt it, be the first to report it!Get the Android appCompare Quake DataData for the same earthquake as reported by different agenciesThe more agencies report about the same quake and post similar data, the more confidence you can have in the data.

It has had at least 4 quakes above magnitude 6 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 30 to 35 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake
