Cordillera Central (Puerto Rico):
La Cordillera Central (The Central Mountain ranges) is the main mountain range in Puerto Rico. Generally speaking, the range crosses the island from west to east with an average elevation of 915m (about 3000 ft) and divides the territory's northern and southern coastal plains.
La Cordillera Central runs east to west from Aibonito to the outskirts of the Sierra de Cayey, which is an extension of La Cordillera Central beginning at the city of Cayey and which runs east to the city of Humacao with elevations approaching only 122m (400 ft). It ends in a fork with two lower ranges, the Sierra Guardarraya and Cuchillas de Panduras which runs between the towns of Yabucoa and Patillas.
La Sierra De Luquillo branches northeastward from Gurabo to Fajardo and includes several high peaks - Toro Hill, at 1,074m (3524 ft), El Yunque at 1,065m (3,494 ft) and El Pico Oeste at 1056m (3446 ft).
