Cordillera Mountains Attractions

Puerto Rico's Cordillera Central Mountains are made up of peaks and valleys, with heights rising 4000 ft / 1220 m. The highest point in Puerto Rico is Cerro de Punta, found in the Cordillera Central. The mountain range covers the central area of Puerto Rico, from the east coast to the west coast of the island. The Cordillera Central Mountains form a scenic setting for many of the island's towns. The climate in the mountains is often cooler and can be a pleasant escape from the coastal heat. Some visitors prefer to spend their time in the rolling his and country towns found in the Cordillera Central.
