Puerto Rico topographic map, elevation, terrain
Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico features a diverse topography characterized by a mountainous interior, coastal plains, and stunning beaches. The island's central region is dominated by the Cordillera Central mountain range, which includes the highest peak, Cerro de Punta, rising to 4,390 feet (1,338 meters). These mountains steeply descend to the coast, particularly along the western shore, creating dramatic cliffs that meet the Atlantic Ocean. The northern coast offers a contrasting landscape with lush coastal plains and sandy beaches lined with karst formations, while the southern coast is flatter and drier, featuring arid landscapes interspersed with agricultural areas. The varied terrain contributes to the island's rich biodiversity, including tropical forests, wetlands, and diverse coastal ecosystems. Overall, Puerto Rico's topography is a blend of mountainous regions, fertile plains, and picturesque beaches, making it a unique and ecologically significant locale in the Caribbean.
