The Cerro Cedral is the second highest mountain of the Cerros de Escazú, Costa Rica with 2,420 m (7,940 ft).[1] Cedral means 'cedar forest' referring to an endangered tree species locally known as Cedro Dulce, which occurs there.[2]
This mountain marks the southern limit of Escazú as a canton and of San José as a province.
The Agres river rises from the Cerro Cedral.
On January 15, 1990 a Sansa Airlines flight crashed into the Cerro Cedral killing all 23 crew and passengers on board. The pilot, flying a CASA C-212 Aviocar, was later determined to be under excessive fatigue at the moment.[3]
