The XII Bolivarian Games (Spanish: Juegos Bolivarianos) were a multi-sport event held between April 24 - May 2, 1993, in Cochabamba and Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia.[1] The Games were organized by the Bolivarian Sports Organization (ODEBO).
There were two opening ceremonies that took place on April 24, 1993, at the Estadio Félix Capriles in Cochabamba, and at the Estadio Ramón Tahuichi Aguilera in Santa Cruz, Bolivia.[2]
In Cochabamba, the Games were officially opened by Bolivian president Jaime Paz Zamora. Torch lighter was long distance runner Johnny Pérez, who won the silver medal in the 3000 metres steeplechase event at the 1981 Bolivarian Games.[2]
Immediately after the end of the ceremony in Cochabamba, the president and a number of officials from the organizing committee rushed by plane to Santa Cruz to attend the other inauguration.
Gold medal winners from Ecuador were published by the Comité Olímpico Ecuatoriano.[3]
