This is the terrifying moment a huge landslide sent pedestrians racing for safety near an iconic landmark in Colombia - leaving 17 people injured, including two minors.
Dramatic surveillance footage showed tourists walking near the El Peñón de Guatapé (The Rock of Guatapé) on Thursday afternoon when an avalanche of rocks suddenly came crashing to the ground.
Six people could be seen walking past when rocks started to rain over the pathway.
A woman began to run and stopped in front of a guardrail as the powdery debris fell over the area. She remained there for about five seconds before she fled.
