Sierra del Divisor is a mountain range located in the border between Peru and Brazil, [1] [2] rising up from the Amazonian plain. It is the only mountainous area in the lower Amazonian jungle. [3] The best-known feature of the range is a pyramid-like mountain called El Cono, which in clear weather is visible from the Andes far to the west. [4]
On November 8, 2015, the Peruvian government announced it had designated 3.3 million-acres of rainforest in the mountain range as a national park. [5]
