El Cerro del Aripo, Mountain summit in Northern Range, Trinidad and Tobago.
El Cerro del Aripo reaches 940 meters in elevation, featuring a flat summit covered by dense fog and cloud forest vegetation throughout the year.
The summit forms part of the Aripo Massif, which creates the headwaters for the Caroni River's major tributaries through numerous mountain springs.
The mountain area contains the Aripo Cave system, where colonies of oilbirds nest among extensive stalactite and stalagmite formations.
Hiking trails to the summit start from La Laha Road near Arima town, with a three-hour ascent through subtropical forest terrain.
The peak hosts the endemic golden treefrog and luminous lizard Riama shrevei, which inhabit the water-collecting bromeliads at high elevations.
