The Carancas impact event refers to the fall of the Carancas chondritic meteorite on the earth surface, the meteorite fell near a village of Carancas in Peru. The location of the fall was close to the Bolivian border and Lake Titicaca. The fall created a small crater impact on the clay soil and scorched earth around its location. A local official named, Marco Limache, observed that "boiling water started coming out of the crater, and particles of rock and cinders were found nearby", as fetid, noxious gases spewed from the crater.
