The mountain can be seen from many parts of the region, particularly from the Valley of Caguas. The mountain is also considered the "face" of La India Dormida (Spanish for "the sleeping Indian [woman]"), a famous geographical landmark consisting of several mountains that through forced perspective (when seen from the north) form the shape of a sleeping woman.[4]
