A massive stone monolith that rises from a hillside savanna outside Cuapa. If you walk from town, it will take about two hours to reach the peak. Alternatively, you could drive to the base and scramble up the back until you reach the top (10 to 20 minutes). According to local legend, the rock is home to goblins.
