The death toll is likely to rise, with more feared trapped under collapsed buildings.
The magnitude 7.4 quake struck at 07:34 (12:34 GMT) at a depth of 103km (64 miles) in ChocĂł province, the country’s geological service said. It was felt across an enormous area, stretching for hundreds of miles across western Colombia.
Many of the de.aths have been concentrated in the city of Pereira, in Colombia’s coffee-growing region, with surrounding cities and the Valle del Cauca region also hit hard.
The epicentre of the quake was near the village of San JosĂ© del Palmar, in ChocĂł province, but local mayor LeĂłn Fabio MarĂn Moncada said that there had miraculously been no deaths or injuries – despite the roads in and out being damaged.
