Pico del Este

Nature
Pico del Este is a mountain peak in the southern Sierra de Luquillo of eastern Puerto Rico, on the boundary between Ceiba and Naguabo. It lies within El Yunque National Forest on a massif connected to El Yunque by the northwest-running ridge called Cuchilla el Duque. The peak is especially known for the former U.S. Navy radar complex on its summit, the Old Navy Radar, which has been decommissioned and abandoned. Its mountaintop combines protected forest scenery with the remains of a military installation, while nearby Pico del Oeste is part of the same highland area.
