It shares the peninsula with Los Santos and Herrera Province, separated by a crest of low mountains, the Macizo de Azuero. The highest peak is Cerro Hoya (1,559 m (5,115 ft)) in the far south.[2]
Punta Mariato at the southern tip of the district also holds the title as the southernmost point of North America.[citation needed]
