Picacho de Turmero, Mountain peak in Turmero, Venezuela.
Rising 1,110 meters above sea level, Picacho de Turmero stands as the highest elevation point in the Municipality of Santiago Mariño, east of Turmero.
The geological formation of Picacho de Turmero dates back 45-50 million years to the Cretaceous or Paleocene period, shaped by Caribbean plate tectonic movements.
Local communities actively participate in reforestation initiatives on the mountain slopes, planting native tree species to preserve the natural environment.
Hikers reach the summit through multiple stages, including passing a water tank before navigating the challenging section known as 'la escalera'.
During rainy seasons, the mountain generates numerous water streams that flow into three major watersheds, supporting the regional river system.
