Earthquakes in Colombia — July 2026
6 earthquakes were recorded in Colombia during July 2026, an average of 0.2 per day.

The month's largest event in Colombia was a magnitude 4.7 earthquake near Monterrey, Colombia on 26 July 2026 at 02:13 UTC. A magnitude 4.7 earthquake radiates roughly 169 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is well above the Colombia monthly average of 4 events over the period we cover — an unusually active month, and up from the 3 recorded the previous month.
50% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 50% intermediate (70–300 km) and 0% deep-focus (over 300 km). A substantial share of intermediate-depth events points to a subducting slab beneath the region rather than purely crustal faulting.
By band, the catalogue holds 6 in the magnitude 4 range.
The month's largest events were M4.7 near Monterrey, Colombia on 26 July at 12 km; M4.6 near Jordán, Colombia on 20 July at 152 km; M4.6 near Jordán, Colombia on 23 July at 148 km.
