A magnitude 4.9 earthquake near San Vito, Coto Brus, Provincia de Puntarenas, Costa Rica, was reported only 8 minutes ago by the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, considered the main national agency that monitors seismic activity in this part of the world. The earthquake occurred at a very shallow depth of 9. km beneath the epicenter in the evening on Wednesday, November 19th, 2025, at 9:49 pm local time. 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 have been widely felt by almost everyone in the area of the epicenter. It might have caused light to moderate damage.
Moderate shaking probably occurred in San Vito (pop. 4,000) located 4 km from the epicenter.
In Corredor (pop. 7,100) located 24 km from the epicenter, and Golfito (pop. 6,800) 30 km away, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Canoas (pop. 4,600) located 39 km from the epicenter, Buenos Aires (pop. 11,700) 52 km away, La Concepcion (pop. 17,700) 55 km away, Pedregal (pop. 17,400) 81 km away, and San Isidro
