Cerro de Punta

Cerro de Punta, in Puerto Rico’s Cordillera Central on the boundary of Ponce and Jayuya, is the island’s highest peak at 1,338 meters above sea level. Located within Toro Negro State Forest and Nature Reserve, it is not volcanic but the loftiest point along the central range that divides the island. The mountain is famed for sweeping views that on clear days reach across much of Puerto Rico, as well as for its rich vegetation, waterfalls, Sierra palm, and rare plants including the endangered fern Elaphoglossum serpens. Accessible by road and hiking routes, it remains a major natural landmark and elevated viewpoint.
