People likely experienced weak shaking there. Many smaller towns and villages are located closer to the epicenter and might have experienced stronger shaking. In the capital of Guatemala, Guatemala City, 212 km (131 mi) away from the epicenter, the earthquake was probably felt as very weak shaking.The following table shows some of the places that might have been affected (or not) by the shaking.DistancePlaceMax. shaking intensity(*)RegionCountry59 km (37 mi)NE of epicenterChamperico(pop: 9,940)III: WeakDepartamento de RetalhuleuGuatemala63 km (39 mi)N of epicenterOcos(pop: 4,420)III: WeakDepartamento de San MarcosGuatemala65 km (41 mi)N of epicenterBrisas Barra de Suchiate(pop: 13,700)III: WeakSuchiate, Estado de ChiapasMexico83 km (51 mi)N of epicenterCiudad Tecun Uman(pop: 11,400)III: WeakDepartamento de San MarcosGuatemala91 km (57 mi)NE of epicenterFlores Costa Cuca(pop: 12,000)III: WeakDepartamento de QuetzaltenangoGuatemala91 km (57 mi)N of epicenterPajapita(pop: 8,160)III: WeakDepartamento de San MarcosGuatemala96 km (60 mi)NE of epicenterRetalhuleu(pop: 90,500)III: WeakDepartamento de RetalhuleuGuatemala97 km (60 mi)NE of epicenterEl Asintal(pop: 17,400)III: WeakDepartamento de RetalhuleuGuatemala98 km (61 mi)NE of epicenterCoatepeque(pop: 105,400)III: WeakDepartamento de QuetzaltenangoGuatemala99 km (62 mi)NE of epicenterNuevo San Carlos(pop: 39,600)III: WeakDepartamento de RetalhuleuGuatemala101 km (62 mi)NE of epicenterSan Sebastian(pop: 29,200)III: WeakDepartamento de RetalhuleuGuatemala105 km (66 mi)N of epicenterTapachula(pop: 353,700)III: WeakEstado de ChiapasMexico106 km (66 mi)NE of epicenterColomba(pop: 47,500)III: WeakDepartamento de QuetzaltenangoGuatemala109 km (68 mi)NE of epicenterSan Felipe(pop: 24,400)III: WeakDepartamento de RetalhuleuGuatemala110 km (68 mi)N of epicenterMalacatan(pop: 92,800)III: WeakDepartamento de San MarcosGuatemala111 km (69 mi)NE of epicenterMazatenango(pop: 77,400)III: WeakDepartamento de SuchitepequezGuatemala112 km (70 mi)E of epicenterTiquisate(pop: 18,200)III: WeakDepartamento de EscuintlaGuatemala113 km (70 mi)NE of epicenterEl Palmar(pop: 15,200)III: WeakDepartamento de QuetzaltenangoGuatemala113 km (70 mi)NE of epicenterSan Francisco Zapotitlan(pop: 22,500)III: WeakDepartamento de SuchitepequezGuatemala119 km (74 mi)NE of epicenterSan Pablo Jocopilas(pop: 20,400)III: WeakDepartamento de SuchitepequezGuatemala126 km (79 mi)NE of epicenterSan Marcos(pop: 47,100)III: WeakDepartamento de San MarcosGuatemala128 km (79 mi)NE of epicenterChicacao(pop: 60,700)III: WeakDepartamento de SuchitepequezGuatemala128 km (79 mi)NE of epicenterOstuncalco(pop: 51,800)III: WeakDepartamento de QuetzaltenangoGuatemala128 km (80 mi)NE of epicenterSan Pedro Sacatepequez(pop: 40,000)III: WeakDepartamento de San MarcosGuatemala132 km (82 mi)NE of epicenterSanta Barbara(pop: 17,200)III: WeakDepartamento de SuchitepequezGuatemala132 km (82 mi)NE of epicenterLa Esperanza(pop: 16,500)III: WeakDepartamento de QuetzaltenangoGuatemala132 km (82 mi)NE of epicenterQuetzaltenango(pop: 180,700)III: WeakDepartamento de QuetzaltenangoGuatemala135 km (84 mi)NE of epicenterCantel(pop: 42,100)III: WeakDepartamento de QuetzaltenangoGuatemala138 km (86 mi)NE of epicenterPatulul(pop: 40,700)III: WeakDepartamento de SuchitepequezGuatemala140 km (87 mi)NE of epicenterSalcaja(pop: 19,400)III: WeakDepartamento de QuetzaltenangoGuatemala140 km (87 mi)E of epicenterLa Gomera(pop: 24,000)III: WeakDepartamento de EscuintlaGuatemala141 km (88 mi)NE of epicenterComitancillo(pop: 59,500)III: WeakDepartamento de San MarcosGuatemala142 km (88 mi)NE of epicenterSantiago Atitlan(pop: 33,300)III: WeakDepartamento de SololaGuatemala145 km (90 mi)NE of epicenterCabrican(pop: 23,000)III: WeakDepartamento de QuetzaltenangoGuatemala146 km (91 mi)NE of epicenterSan Francisco El Alto(pop: 57,900)III: WeakDepartamento de TotonicapanGuatemala148 km (92 mi)NE of epicenterNahuala(pop: 27,700)III: WeakDepartamento de SololaGuatemala149 km (92 mi)E of epicenterSanta Lucia Cotzumalguapa(pop: 112,800)III: WeakMunicipio de Santa Lucia Cotzumalguapa, Departamento de EscuintlaGuatemala150 km (93 mi)NE of epicenterTotonicapan(pop: 104,000)III: WeakMunicipio de Totonicapan, Departamento de TotonicapanGuatemala175 km (109 mi)NE of epicenterSanta Cruz del Quiche(pop: 78,300)II: Very weakDepartamento del QuicheGuatemala212 km (131 mi)E of epicenterGuatemala City(pop: 994,900)II: Very weakMunicipio de Guatemala, Departamento de GuatemalaGuatemalaNotes:(*) Shaking intensity according to the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale (MMI) and estimated using seismic models.User-reports for this quakeThere are no user reports for this quake yet.If you felt it, be the first to report it!Get the Android appCompare Quake DataData for the same earthquake as reported by different agenciesThe more agencies report about the same quake and post similar data, the more confidence you can have in the data.

When aftershocks are detected, we will update this section.What are aftershocks?Larger earthquakes (above magnitude 5 or so) such as this one are usually followed by smaller ones known as aftershocks that occur in the same area during the days, weeks, months or even years after the main shock.[More info]What about this quake?Based on its magnitude, the fault that was active during the quake likely ruptured beneath a surface area of approximately 6 km2 (2 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 4 km (3 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)2026-04-24 20:09:2719 minutes ago4.833 km0 km - This quake60 km Al Suroeste De Champerico, GuatemalaMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksEarthquake statisticsAverage number of earthquakesBased on data from the past 26 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 434 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):Mag. 7 or higher: 0.06 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 18.2 years)Mag. 6 or higher: 0.32 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 3.2 years)Mag. 5 or higher: 4.8 quakes per yearMag. 4 or higher: 157 quakes per year (or 13.1 quakes per month)Mag. 3 or higher: 409 quakes per year (or 34.1 quakes per month)Mag. 2 or higher: 433 quakes per year (or 36.1 quakes per month)The area where this quake occurred has a very high level of seismic activity. It has had at least 7 quakes above magnitude 7 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 15 to 20 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake
