Cerro Las Minas, Mountain summit in Lempira Department, Honduras.

Cerro Las Minas rises 2,870 meters above sea level within Celaque National Park, presenting diverse terrain with steep slopes and dense mountain forest. The landscape is dominated by vegetation adapted to high elevations that covers the entire region.

The creation of Celaque National Park in 1987 marked a pivotal moment in protecting this summit and the surrounding natural area. This designation helped safeguard the mountain region for future generations and recognized its ecological importance.

The summit is locally known as Pico Celaque, the name used on 1:50,000 topographic maps of the Cordillera de Celaque. The mountain gives its name to Celaque National Park, created in 1987 over some 266 square kilometres. UNESCO has shown interest in listing the mountain as a World Heritage site.

The ascent is demanding and requires good physical preparation as well as appropriate clothing for changing weather conditions at high elevations. It helps to arrange local guide services in advance and check park conditions before visiting.

Local 1:50,000 topographic maps label the peak "Pico Celaque, 2849m", while Shuttle Radar Topography Mission data puts it at 2,870 m. The summit lies in the Cordillera de Celaque, and temperatures of -1 °C have been recorded there in cold spells. UNESCO has shown interest in listing the mountain as a World Heritage site.
