Cerro Maravilla is Puerto Rico's fourth highest peak[2] at 1,205 meters (3,953 ft).

In the winter season, the air is crisp and the temperature at night will usually fluctuate between the 40s and 60s degrees Fahrenheit.

The peak might be best known for being the place where two Puerto Rico independence activists were slain on 25 July 1978 in a police ambush (see Cerro Maravilla murders.)

This controversy has since turned the mountain into a meeting point for supporters of the independence of the Puerto Rican Commonwealth to gather annually to remember the murdered activists and condemn the current colonial status.

The surrounding area over 1,000 meters (3,300 feet) is one of the few places in the island to have a true temperate climate.
