Separate inauguration ceremonies for the Games were held in both venues. In Quito, the Games were officially opened by Ecuadorian president and chairman of the military junta Ramón Castro Jijón. Torch lighter was former long distance runner, 10,000 metres gold medal winner at the I Bolivarian Games Luís Calderón. The athlete's oath was sworn by the president's sister, former sprinter and 50 metres gold medal winner at the I Bolivarian Games Carola Castro. In Guayaquil, the Games were officially opened by the president of the organizing committee, Jaime García Naranjo. Torch lighter was Edgar Andrade. The athlete's oath was sworn by baseball player Juvenal Sáenz.

A detailed history of the early editions of the Bolivarian Games between 1938 and 1989 was published in a book written (in Spanish) by José Gamarra Zorrilla, former president of the Bolivian Olympic Committee, and first president (1976-1982) of ODESUR.
