Resumen:
The first enumeration of impact craters sites in South America is presented here. Proximately twenty proven, suspected and disproven structures have been identified by several sources in this continent until now. But everyone events proposed here aren?t really produced by impacts at all. About some of them reasonable doubts exist. Brazil leading the record containing almost half detected and following it in the list Argentina. In Bolivia, Peru, Chile and Colombia only a few were observed. The rest of countries are awaiting for new discoveries.
