Los Picachos, Mountain summit in Cordillera Central, Puerto Rico.
Los Picachos rises to 968 meters above sea level with three distinct peaks forming a notable silhouette in the Puerto Rican mountain landscape.
The indigenous Taíno people considered this mountain sacred and used its peaks as reference points for navigation across the island territory.
The name Los Picachos derives from Spanish language traditions, reflecting the physical characteristics of its three prominent mountain summits.
Visitors can access the mountain through trails starting from both Ciales and Jayuya municipalities, with the best hiking conditions during dry season.
The summit provides habitats for endangered species like the Puerto Rican Sharp-shinned hawk while hosting rare vegetation from multiple forest ecosystems.
