Explore recorded seismic event data, event magnitudes, and epicentre distances in the reserve area.
This historical collection archives documented earthquakes that occurred within the vicinity of the Amarakaeri Communal Reserve. The data presented includes essential seismic parameters such as event dates, precise magnitudes, and focal depths for each recorded disturbance. By organizing these historical accounts, the catalogue provides a clear perspective on the seismic activity documented near the transitions between the Southwest Amazon moist forests and the Peruvian Yungas.

An indigenous-led Amazonian reserve protecting Harakbut heritage and southeastern Peruvian rainforest.
The Amarakaeri Communal Reserve is a protected area in southeastern Peru, situated in the Madre de Dios Region within Manú Province. It safeguards a large block of Amazonian forest at the meeting point between the lowland Southwest Amazon moist forests and the steeper, cloud-influenced Peruvian Yungas ecoregions. The reserve is notable not only for its ecological richness but also for its cultural significance, as it is managed in connection with the indigenous Harakbut people who have long inhabited this part of the Peruvian Amazon. Beyond its biodiversity value, the reserve contains one of the most striking natural features in the region: the so-called Harakbut Face, a landscape formation resembling a human profile that the Harakbut consider a sacred presence. The site has become a symbol of the intersection between indigenous cosmology, Amazonian geography, and Peru's broader heritage system, and it has helped raise the international profile of the reserve.
Review Amarakaeri Communal Reserve dates, magnitudes, depths, locations, and distances
The Amarakaeri Communal Reserve catalogue uses epicentre position and computed distance to establish a spatial association, not an origin within the reserve or an effect on its forests. Every entry exposes when the event was recorded, its magnitude and depth, the reported place, reserve separation, and source link for historical review rather than risk assessment.
This page describes catalogued earthquakes associated with the park by epicentre location and distance. It does not establish causation, assess current danger, or predict future earthquakes.
