Picacho del Diablo

Picacho del Diablo, Mountain summit in Sierra de San Pedro Mártir, Mexico

Picacho del Diablo is the highest summit of the Baja California peninsula, reaching about 3,090 metres in the Sierra de San Pedro Mártir. It also bears the name Cerro de la Encantada. The peak lies roughly 180 km south of Ensenada, some 52 km west of the Gulf of California coast near San Felipe, and about 70 km east of San Quintín. The road to the San Pedro Mártir national observatory, about 10 km away, is the closest approach by vehicle.

The sources record no documented first ascent or named cartographer; the 1911 Don McClain claim is unsupported. The peak appears in records as Cerro de la Encantada or Picacho del Diablo, about 3,090 m, the 35th highest mountain in Mexico and the highest on the Baja California peninsula. It lies within the Sierra de San Pedro Mártir, on the boundary between the municipality of San Felipe and the Punta Colonet delegation of Ensenada. The road to the San Pedro Mártir national observatory, about 10 km away, is the closest approach.

The peak carries two names: Picacho del Diablo, Devil's Peak, and Cerro de la Encantada, Hill of the Enchanted or Bewitched. Both appear in the sources, and the second is the one used in the Spanish-language article title. The mountain is the highest point of the Baja California peninsula and the 35th highest in Mexico.

The nearest road access is the highway to the San Pedro Mártir national observatory, which passes about 10 km from the peak. The summit lies roughly 180 km south of Ensenada, 70 km east of San Quintín and just over 52 km west of the Gulf of California coast near San Felipe. The mountain sits on the boundary between the municipality of San Felipe and the Punta Colonet delegation of Ensenada.

The summit lies on the boundary between the municipalities of San Felipe and Ensenada, in the Sierra de San Pedro Mártir. The San Pedro Mártir national observatory stands about 10 km away, and the road to the observatory is the closest approach to the peak.
