Cerro Punta de Damas, Mountain summit in Santiago Metropolitan Region, Chile.

Cerro Punta de Damas is a pre-Andean summit in the Sierra de Ramón, the second-highest peak facing Santiago after Cerro de Ramón. It rises to 3,149 meters and is bordered by the Macul ravine to the west, El Manzano to the east, and the Maipo River to the south.

The mountain has long served as a natural boundary separating different geographic regions, marked by the Mapocho River to the north and the Maipo River to the south. This geographic division influenced settlement patterns throughout the Santiago region.

The summit lies within the Sierra de Ramón, a range bounded by the Mapocho River to the north and the Maipo to the south. It is listed as an environmental protection zone by Protege, and its slopes face the Quebrada de Macul to the west and El Manzano to the east.

An ascent requires mountaineering equipment and careful planning, as weather conditions change rapidly at higher elevations. Start early in the day and allow adequate time for descent before darkness falls.

Cerro Punta de Damas is listed by Protege as an environmental protection zone, a status tied to the Sierra de Ramón chain bounded by the Mapocho and Maipo rivers. The surrounding land is open bush country with very sparse population, about 2 inhabitants per square kilometre.
