An earthquake of magnitude 5.5 occurred in the morning on Wednesday, September 3rd, 2025, at 9:56 am local time near Puyo, Pastaza, Ecuador, as reported by The Colombian Geological Service (SGC).
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at an intermediate to considerable depth of 175. km. The strength of the earthquake may have been tempered by its relative great depth below the surface, which makes it feel weaker in absolute terms. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Palora (pop. 6,500) located 18 km from the epicenter, Puyo (pop. 24,900) 22 km away, Banos (pop. 9,500) 44 km away, Pelileo (pop. 16,600) 59 km away, Macas (pop. 23,700) 73 km away, Tena (pop. 17,200) 80 km away, Latacunga (pop. 205,600) 97 km away, and Guaranda (pop. 22,200) 98 km away.

Ecuador was shaken near Puyo, Pastaza, by an earthquake of magnitude 5.2 only 9 minutes ago, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported.
The quake hit at an intermediate to considerable depth of 158.80 km beneath the epicenter near Puyo, Pastaza, Ecuador, in the morning on Wednesday, September 3rd, 2025, at 9:56 am local time. The strength of the earthquake may have been tempered by its relative great depth below the surface, which makes it feel weaker in absolute terms. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
A second report was later issued by the Institute of Geophysics of the National Polytechnic School in Quito (IGEPN), which listed it as a magnitude 4.9 earthquake. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 5.3, and the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at magnitude 5.3.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Puyo (pop. 24,900) located 13 km from the epicenter, Palora (pop. 6,500) 16 km away, Banos (pop. 9,500) 59 km away, Pelileo (pop. 16,600) 74 km away, Riobamba (pop. 264,000) 82 km away,
