IGP Confirms 4.2 Matucana and 3.5 Chilca Quakes Near Lima With No Damage

Officials emphasize continued monitoring to reinforce earthquake preparedness.

Overview

  • The IGP reported a magnitude 4.2 quake at 12:50 p.m. on November 23 located 13 km southwest of Matucana at a depth of 107 km (report IGP/CENSIS/RS 2025-0772).
  • A day earlier, a magnitude 3.5 event was recorded at 2:18 p.m. 26 km west of Chilca at 50 km depth (report IGP/CENSIS/RS 2025-0771).
  • Civil defense authorities report no injuries or material damage from the recent tremors and continue constant monitoring through COEN and INDECI.
  • IGP specialists characterize the Matucana and Chilca earthquakes as independent events given their different depths and likely distinct sources.
  • Some outlets cited slightly different parameters for the Chilca event, so officials point the public to IGP and emergency channels for definitive updates, with no extraordinary alerts issued.
