Cerro El Potosí, Summit in Sierra Madre Oriental, Mexico.
Cerro El Potosi reaches an elevation of 3,721 meters, making it the highest point in the Sierra Madre Oriental mountain range of northeast Mexico.
The mountain became a center for silver mining operations during the 18th century, significantly influencing the economic development of the Nuevo Leon region.
Local communities maintain traditional practices and share stories about the mountain, which has been a focal point of regional identity for generations.
Visitors can access the summit through a road constructed in the 1960s for a microwave relay station, making the ascent more manageable for hikers.
The upper slopes contain an ecological reserve established in 2000, protecting endemic species such as the Potosi Pinyon and rare mountain flora.
