Peru earthquake today: Latest tremor, magnitude and epicenter reported by the IGP

The Geophysical Institute of Peru is tracking the country’s latest earthquakes on Monday, September 7, 2026, with reports detailing each event’s magnitude, epicenter, depth and time.

The article explains that magnitude measures the energy released by an earthquake, while intensity refers to the effects of the movement or how it is felt in different places. A single event can therefore be experienced differently depending on the area.

It also explains that an earthquake’s depth indicates how far below the surface the movement began. Together with magnitude and the epicenter’s location, the figure helps describe the characteristics of each event recorded by the IGP.

Among the recent reports, a magnitude 4.0 tremor occurred at 6:48 a.m. on September 6, 90 kilometers east of Castrovirreyna in Huancavelica, at a depth of 100 kilometers. Another magnitude 4.0 earthquake was recorded at 5:52 a.m. 53 kilometers north of Coronel Portillo in Ucayali, at a depth of 152 kilometers.

The IGP also reported a magnitude 4.4 tremor at 4:14 a.m. 38 kilometers southwest of Mollendo, in Islay, Arequipa. That earthquake occurred at a depth of 44 kilometers. The article urges readers to keep an emergency backpack ready and maintain a culture of prevention in case of stronger seismic activity.
