Picacho El Oregano, Mountain summit in Nuevo León, Mexico
Located within the Sierra Madre Oriental range, Picacho El Oregano reaches an elevation of 2200 meters above sea level in northeastern Mexico.
The peak appears in early documents as Pico del Gavilán, named after the Gavilanes Indians who inhabited these mountains during previous centuries.
Near the base at Cañón de Guitarritas, the Huicholes people perform annual ceremonies at Loma Alta to honor life, rain, sun, and Tatewari.
The ascent involves a challenging 1440-meter elevation gain, with autumn and winter providing the most suitable conditions for climbing activities.
The mountain features three distinct names: Picacho El Orégano among locals, Pico del Gavilán in documents, and Aguiluchos del Sur within climbing communities.
