Cerro Maravilla is Puerto Rico's fourth highest peak[2] at 1,205 meters (3,953 ft). It is located on the northern edge Barrio Anón in Ponce,[3][4] close to the border with the municipality Jayuya,[5] and is part of the Cordillera Central (Central Mountain Range). It is known as El Cerro de los Mártires ("Mountain of the Martyrs") and characterized as the most infamous peak in Puerto Rico, due to the 1978 Cerro Maravilla murders which took place here.[6]
