Iturralde Crater is a 5 mile (8 kilometer) diameter circular feature in an isolated part of the Bolivian Amazon, that may be an impact crater. If correct, the impact is speculated to have occurred between 11,000 and 30,000 years ago ^{[citation needed]}.

Although the structure was identified on satellite photographs in the mid-1980s, its location is so remote that it has only been visited by scientific investigators twice, most recently by a team from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in September 2002.
