- This page is about Cerro Potosí in Mexico. For the mountain in Bolivia, see Huayna Potosí.
Cerro Potosí is the highest
mountain in the
Sierra Madre Oriental mountain range of northeast
Mexico.
It is composed of
limestone, and is noted for its very diverse
flora including several
endemic or near-endemic species, such as the
Potosi Pinyon.
Access was very difficult in the past, but in the
1960s a
microwave relay station was built on the summit, with the road built for this providing easy access from the east.
