The 1994 Bolivia earthquake occurred on June 8, 1994, at 20:33 local time. The epicenter was located in a sparsely populated region in the Amazon jungle, 55 kilometres (34 mi) NNW of Reyes, Bolivia.
The Harvard CMT Project assigned it a focal depth of 647 km (402 mi), while USGS assigned it a depth of 631.3 km (392.3 mi). Both assigned it a magnitude Mw of 8.2, making it, at the time, the largest earthquake since the 1977 Sumba earthquake, before being surpassed less than 4 months later by an 8.3 Mw earthquake in the Kuril Islands. It is also tied with the August 19, 2018 Fiji Earthquake as the second largest ever earthquake recorded deep focus earthquake (where the focal depth exceeds 300 km (190 mi)), only behind the 2013 Okhotsk Sea earthquake, while also being the largest in South America.
