Quebrada Doña María | Landslide

WI_co287.jpg

This landslide near San Antonio de Prado happened on 13 July 2022, resulting in two fatalities. Deeply weathered, probably water-saturated residual rock was mobilized and converted into a flow-type movement, stopping a short way downstream after having reached the river. There must have been some short-term damming, but no major dam break flood was noted. After the main event, there was at least one secondary landslide.
