CERRO MARAVILLA

:''This article is about the mountain in Puerto Rico. For the killings that occurred on the mountain in 1978, see Cerro Maravilla Incident.''
'Cerro Maravilla' is one of the highest peaks in Puerto Rico at 1,160 metres. It is located in the city of Villalba in the south area of the island, and is part of the Cordillera Central.
The peak might be best known for being the setting where two pro-independence activists were slain in July 25, 1978 in a police ambush (see Maravilla Hill case.) This controversy has since turned the mountain into a meeting point for supporters of the independence of the island to gather annually to remember the murdered activists and condemn the current colonial status.
