Nature
El Gigante Dormido is a mountain in Adjuntas, Puerto Rico, whose silhouette resembles the head of a reclining man. Rising just south of downtown Adjuntas Pueblo, its highest point, Cerro El Gigante, reaches 3,175 feet above sea level, and its outline can be seen from many parts of town. The mountain’s striking profile gave rise to its Spanish name, meaning “the sleeping giant,” and also inspired local folk tales that explain the origin of its unusual shape.
