People likely experienced very weak shaking there. Many smaller towns and villages are located closer to the epicenter and might have experienced stronger shaking. In the capital of Costa Rica, San Jose, 169 km (105 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(*)RegionCountry49 km (30 mi)E of epicenterGolfito(pop: 6,780)III: WeakProvincia de PuntarenasCosta Rica50 km (31 mi)N of epicenterPuerto Cortes(pop: 3,850)III: WeakOsa, Provincia de PuntarenasCosta Rica67 km (42 mi)E of epicenterCorredor(pop: 7,080)III: WeakProvincia de PuntarenasCosta Rica69 km (43 mi)E of epicenterCabecera de San Bartolo(pop: 58)III: WeakDistrito de Baru, Provincia de ChiriquiPanama72 km (45 mi)NE of epicenterSan Vito(pop: 3,980)III: WeakCoto Brus, Provincia de PuntarenasCosta Rica75 km (47 mi)E of epicenterFinca Blanco(pop: 1,060)III: WeakDistrito de Baru, Provincia de ChiriquiPanama76 km (47 mi)E of epicenterAlto Quiel(pop: 576)III: WeakDistrito de Renacimiento, Provincia de ChiriquiPanama77 km (48 mi)N of epicenterBuenos Aires(pop: 11,700)II: Very weakProvincia de PuntarenasCosta Rica78 km (48 mi)E of epicenterCanoas(pop: 4,570)II: Very weakCorredores, Provincia de PuntarenasCosta Rica80 km (50 mi)E of epicenterPuerto Armuelles(pop: 11,700)II: Very weakDistrito de Baru, Provincia de ChiriquiPanama83 km (51 mi)NE of epicenterRio Sereno(pop: 1,370)II: Very weakDistrito de Renacimiento, Provincia de ChiriquiPanama92 km (57 mi)SE of epicenterBurica(pop: 1,360)II: Very weakDistrito de Baru, Provincia de ChiriquiPanama169 km (105 mi)N of epicenterSan Jose(pop: 335,000)II: Very weakSan Jose, Provincia de San JoseCosta RicaNotes:(*) 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 2 km2 (1 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 2 km (1 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)22 de mayo del 2026 7:25 pm8 minutes ago4.213 km0 km - This quakeCosta Rica: 25 km Al Sur De Drake, OsaMain 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 914 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):Mag. 7 or higher: 0.02 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 62.5 years)Mag. 6 or higher: 0.22 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 4.6 years)Mag. 5 or higher: 2.7 quakes per yearMag. 4 or higher: 62 quakes per year (or 5.2 quakes per month)Mag. 3 or higher: 492 quakes per year (or 41 quakes per month)Mag. 2 or higher: 873 quakes per year (or 73 quakes per month)Mag. 1 or higher: 911 quakes per year (or 76 quakes per month)The area where this quake occurred has a very high level of seismic activity. It has had at least 2 quakes above magnitude 7 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 60 to 65 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake
