Cerros Guayamurí y Matasiete Natural Monument, Natural monument in La Asuncion, Venezuela.
The natural monument encompasses two distinct hills, Matasiete reaching 660 meters and Guayamuri reaching 480 meters, connected by an 80-meter depression.
The Battle of Matasiete took place here during Venezuela's Independence War, where patriots defended their position by rolling large rocks down the mountainside.
The monument preserves traditional connections between local communities and the dry tropical forest environment, featuring native species like guayacan trees.
Visitors can access the monument through the National Highway that circles both hills, with several maintained trails leading to observation points.
From El Tirano, the silhouette of Cerro Guayamuri bears a strong resemblance to Mount Fuji in Japan, creating a distinctive landmark.
