Best view
The view from atop Cerro de Punta is said to be "the best view in all of Puerto Rico". On a clear day, it is possible to see virtually the entire island, including as far as San Juan, which is over 75 miles away. There are a number of radio and television transmission and re-transmission towers just off the top of the mountain. There is an observation platform at the top of the mountain. Wildlife and flora
The mountain is home to an abundant amount wildlife, lush vegetation, flowering shrubs and trees, and numerous waterfalls. The mountain is covered by palm trees. Various plants, including some endangered species are found here. The endangered fern Elaphoglossum serpens is found only on this mountain and nowhere else in the world.
No matter who doesn't like my island home. I LOVE PUERTO RICO.
Jayuya te extraño soy del barrio Santa Rosa . 🙏🙏🙏🙏 Dios Bendiga mi ISLA DEL ENCANTO.❤❤❤❤❤
I was doing a lot of the power restoration from hurricane Maria in this area ! I like It there
Brant we are very thankful for everyone involved in the power restoration. Thank you!
Que bella es mi.isla De Puerto Rico
Mi Isla es bella. Viva Puerto Rico. Gracias por el vídeo.
Wow! What a beautiful site!! Puerto Rico is gorgeous👍thanks for sharing✌️
+Anibal Babilonia, that spot maybe nice but trust me, for the most part PR is NOT gorgeous (it reminded me of the garbage that everywhere in the DR). During my visit I didn't find any of the beaches, from San Juan to Vieques, decent either. No different than the Beaches here on the North end of the East Coast in America. Very unattractive imo. Had an amazing time but it's expensive & not worth it. I would NOT go back.
+Diane “Di” Nehman that's too bad! You probably didn't get out of the San Juan area!! Jejeje that's the problem with most tourists! They go only to San Juan area they don't get out to explore the other side of the island! Me my self love Puerto Rico, but San Juan the only time I'll go there is to sight seeing and that's it! I would not live there. But that's you're opinion that's fine.
+Anibal Babilonia, It wasn't bad. We didn't stay in San Juan other than one afternoon. We like to travel off the beaten path. It just didn't do much for me, & those CRAZY drivers, yikes. That alone was enough to keep me away, heheheh! Glad you love it so much, it's nice to have place that make you feel at home. I agree couldn't live there. Happy travels!
+Diane “Di” Nehman I'm not mad at you I think everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I just think sometimes you have to explore beyond that point not just stay in the same area. Is like everywhere else, they might advertise the place as beautiful and clean! But when you go there! Is not as clean or as beautiful as advertised!
+Anibal Babilonia, no worries, I didn't claim any madness. I understand what you mean but again we DIDN'T stay in the same place, we moved about the entire time. We didn't go based on the expectation of beauty through & through, we went b/c we were curious & wanted to explore something new. I just wasn't expecting it to be as bad in terms of the garbage everywhere. We had a lot of fun but it's just not our cup of tea. Anyhow Beauty is in the eye of the beholder so we will end it w/ that.
Me emocionó mucho el video, en mi infancia subí varias veces, pero a pie. Es hermoso, en especial cuando tienes la suerte de que esté completamente despejado, puedes ver los 4 puntos cardinales y observar toda la costa.
Si estás parado en esa área no estás en Jayuya, estás entre Ponce y Villalba, aunque Jayuya bordea la montaña por uno de sus lados y lo puedes apreciar muy bien ese pueblo.
Tc y
En el 1974 o 1975 yo pase dos semanas haciendo guardia en esas torres . Yo pertenecia a la guardia nacional , la cual fue activada en Puerto Rico . Pero desde niño fuimos varias veces con la familia de paseo . Muy buen clima . Gracias por el video !!
Soy de Utuado y planeaba corridas de ciclismo con mis amigos del oeste y quedaban brutos con la vista y la corrida. Vivo en Cincinnati y esto es mas plano que un pancake y feo. Jayuya es hermoso y la gente más aún. Agora voy a tar trite to el dia😥😥😥. Lindo video...
estaba buscando algo para mostrarle a una amiga en donde vivo, y no encontré mejor video, muchas gracias por mostrar nuestra belleza al mundo.
Wow I love my island! Very beautiful!
Back in 1981 when I worked for AEE I did that drive several times from Ponce for telecom eqmt maintenance. When they were still running soil studies for today’s Cerrillos damn.
very nice, its been 5 years and i appreciate your video
Beautiful and god bless...
Thank you for showing...
I went after hurricane Maria and the car couldn't go up cause the road was super damaged
The speed of your video climbing to the top is dizzying. You had an option, either start at the top or slow down the filming traveling the road upwards and prolonging the video. Aside from the above critique, the scenery from the observation point is stunning. Thank you for sharing.
Gracias
Quisiera ir allá arriba,pero¿Qué se hace si viene un carro en sentido contrario siendo el camino tan angosto?
Que belleza, gracias
Gracias por esto hermoso ,me da paz !
No way I made it almost I freakout came back 👎 😆 beautiful 😍 site
From El Porton , Barranquitas . I saw A Mountain with Ountains under it . Higher than this one .
I asked My Primo and he said. Only On A Clear Day , Can You See It .
This was North past Puerto Rico .
It is better to do this video in regular speed, so we can appreciate the panorama fully
Mi abuelo, Jaime Marin was from Jayuya.
Jayuya es un pueblo bonito con mucha historia estoy seguro que mucho no saben que Jayuya a un tiempo iba a ser la capital de puerto rico. y que nunca se olviden EL GRITO DE JAYUYA que debe ser un dia fiesta.
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
We want to find a home with land in La Pica. Any contact of locals in the area please?
esto es el cerro maraviilla?
wow yo fui en juio 1976n0 77. y habia que subir la cuestita apie hasta las antenas de tv.
To get or at least be able to get all the way up there is that a one way street ?
Yes its a very narrow street(could be dangerous when raining ) and you have to share the road with cars coming the opposite way.
Hoy en día tienes que tener una 4x4 o awd para llegar ahí
Si, fuimos a dos ese día.
wao brutal, cual es el # de carretera antes de doblar a la montaña
Hermoso! Q tristeza ver tanta antena, eso hace mucho daño! Pero ahí están dando la batalla las montañas! Gracias montañas!
Daiane Viento pero no antenas no podríamos ver vídeos 🙁
Tristemente, en abril de 1973, el tope del Cerro la Punta de Jayuya, que era un peñasco de piedra volcánica, fue destruido con palas mecánicas para crear ese terraplén donde se habría de construir la base en hormigón para una torre metálica para antenas de comunicación. La altura original fue reducida en unos 50 pies. Hubo protestas, y entonces decidieron desistir de colocar la torre en ese punto. Una mutilación terrible de nuestra geomorfología, que el tiempo se ha encargado de hacer caer en el olvido. Pero eso YO NO LO OLVIDO… En marzo del 1971 yo subí ahí y me tomé fotos con varios amigos, las que conservo del Cerro Punta en estado original. Tuve el privilegio de haber estado en el real punto mas alto de Puerto Rico antes que lo destruyeran. Y en aquel tiempo no era facil llegar hasta ahi. Habia que subir en jeep.
Very interesting to know that. The rock is not volcanic as there are no volcanoes in Puerto Rico.
@@Notrocketscience101 Wrong. Puerto,Rico is actually the tip of a volcano. At least that’s what I was taught in my school days.
Ahí hay dos cerros? Lo digo porque aparecen las cruces con la bandera de PR y Eso es el cerro Maravilla.
Cerro Puntas jurisdiccion Jayuya, y el Cerro maravilla, jurisdiccion de Villalba.
Pena q los municipios no mantengan adecuadamente el lugar, y eso q esas antenas deben dejar un billete largo, fui hace muchos años, quiero volver, pronto lo hare!!
Pudieran hacer ahi un mirador con gazebos para familias, banos, seguridad, cafeteria y como unos balcones con barandas para las personas tirar fotos.
my parents were born there Jayuya P.R.
Are there no hiking trails out there?
I guess not.
There are a few The video was so speedy that I missed those entrances.
Y would you go up there with out a drone could you just imagine the footage you'll get wow.
Duda es cerro punta o cerro.maravilla ? Ya que esas cruces son de los muchachos asesinados por la policía a finales de los setenta.
Rezo para que muestren el respecto para las dos tumbas de los hombres jovenes que murieron alli. Asesinado y acosado falsamente.
Is there a pyramid in Jayuya?
No ma'am
JAYUYA y CIALES SON oriundos NUESTROS PUERTORRIQUENOS ABUELOS DONA, MARIA GONZALEZ ORTIZ Y DON JENARO VEGA ORTIZ
Cerro Punta o Cerro Maravilla?
los dos.
@@LizRodriguez0418 How? When does it switch to the other one?
Ok but the video slowly so a an see aor PR, thank
Musica d PR por favor!
Complejos de texanos cowboy jaja
Lugar muy peligroso solo por la alta contaminación de frecuencias emitidas por esas antenas.....
4:20...
Y AQUELLAS TUMBAS ERAN DOS QUE MATARON ALLI ES EL CASO DEL CERRO MARAVILLA, AUNQUE NUNCA LO HABIA VISTO POR ESO Y LAS AMTENAS ME DI CUENTA.
Disculpen, yo recientemente fui a Cerro Punta el lunes 28 de agosto 2017 y esas cruces no están en ese pico, están en el cuarto pico mas alto de PR q se llama Cerro Maravilla.
All the cell towers were added since I was there. Kind of spoils the ambiance.
This is exactly what i think, they took a lot of vegetation down to build the towers. The reason they build communications towers there because its the highest place in the island and can cover most of the island. I think they should build a nice visitors center there with bathrooms, security and sky decks.
Is spelled peak, not pick
Ese no es el Cerro Punta ese es El Cerro Maravilla
Wrong. Cerró Punta.
Cerro maravilla Las cruzes de dos jovenes boricuas que fueron asesinados arrodillados y pidiendo clemencía por policias corruptos del el gobierno de Puerto Rico...R.I.P.🏴☠️🇵🇷
La palabra es "Peak"
Rosello, criminal!
La volviste a cagar infeliz.
Romero Barcelo...
Otro patriota mas igual que Rubén berrios, calle 13, y mucho patriota que han hecho sus vidas en los estados y ni viven nu vienen a Puerto Rico a nada absolutamente, que patriotas son ..!!
peak not pick
✔️ WHY is it that the Site DESCRIPTION is done in in English language?...
Which is the damn language of the Yankee, the gringos, who were the ones who in 1898 INVADED the Archipelago of PuertoRico; where SPANISH is the native language,...NOT English.
English language indeed IS very offensive to the Puertorricans and their holy CULTURE !...
SAY IT LIKE IT IS ! IN PUERTO RICO THE POPULATION SPEAKS
S P A N I S H ! 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
They are CARIBBEANS descendants of the Taino indians and Spaniards. They are NOT
damn people from the United States. Get it ?!!
Taino, is the only language that should be spoken. The disgusting Spanish and their Catholic monarchs with their Sikh religion who funded him destroyed the islands. A true Puerto Rican would never speak Spanish.
