Reviewer 2 Report
This manuscript presents a case study of the seismic landslides complex. Given the valuable contribution to the subsurface constraints for seismic characterization of complexes, the topic is of interest. The paper is well written, and the ideas are clearly presented. Some detailed comments should be followed for revision before publication:
1. As a case study, the analytical findings presented in this article require supplementary explanations regarding their applicability and potential insights for other engineering applications.
2. Kindly ensure a consistent visual style for all images throughout the document. Adjust the font and size of the text within the images for uniformity.
3. It is recommended to provide a comparative analysis between the existing methods and the approach presented in this article within the context of this case study. Alternatively, the authors could include qualitative assessments of the distinctions between different methods, aiding readers in selecting the most appropriate analytical approach.
Minor editing of English language required.

Reviewer 3 Report
This research aims to perform a seismic characterization of a landslide in Peru. Despite the significance of the topic, the manuscript presents several issues that require major revisions before the next round of review.
The abstract lacks clarity, particularly in lines 19-20. Please incorporate quantifiable results instead of generic information.
General statements in lines 23-24 need to be substantiated with relevant literature. It is recommended to include proper citations to support the discussion in Lines 23-24. For instance, please refer to https://doi.org/10.1007/s11069-021-05199-2 and https://doi.org/10.1029/2018RG000626. Additionally, consider including relevant citations regarding spatial mappings, as in lines 36-38. For example, refer to https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jappgeo.2016.04.015 and https://doi.org/10.1016/j.soildyn.2022.107451.
Further elaboration on the global implications of this study is necessary.
Furthermore, it is important to provide a more explicit explanation of the novelty of this study.
