Since September 1, 2000, the peaks have become part of the Las Piedras del Collado Nature Reserve and are protected by law.
This may be a fourth reason yet why many people believe Las Tetas mountain peaks are located in Cayey, and not in Salinas.
The result was a vindication of the claim that the "Las Tetas" location as being in the municipality of Cayey was incorrect.
[14] Even so, the name of the mountains are so embedded in Puerto Rican tradition that they continue to be called "Las Tetas de Cayey".
The rest area is colocated with the Monumento al Jíbaro Puertorriqueño statue and monument, in the municipality of Salinas.
[15] Hiking, mountain climbing, and camping at Cerro Las Tetas can be arranged by local tour companies.
