Tsunami, originally from the Japanesse word tsu harbor and nami wave, are great energy sea waves able to destroy complete towns over the coast, (i.e. San Juan de la Costa, Colombia in 1979). It has been proved that tsunami can cause clamase over thousands of kilometers from its source (Chile 1960). The scientific comunity in Colombia, wonders if the Colombian Pacific Coast, severely stroke by near field tsunami in two opportunities, is also exposed to far field tsunami threat. Ibis work, calculated by means of a numerical solution, the initial believable and specific perturbations, generated at the sea surface as the result of an earthquake ocurred at the bottom of the sea, so as the height of the wave that results from the same phenomenon, close to the Colombian Pacific Coast. In this manner, it is given a tool to answer a fundamental question of natural threat, giving practical information, necessary for the management of the far field tsunami risk, in the Colombian Pacific Coast.
