At {{convert|3101|m|ft|abbr=on}} above sea level, it gives Hispaniola the [[List of islands by highest point|16th-highest maximum elevation of any island in the world]]. Additionally, it is only {{convert|53|mi|km|order=flip|abbr=off}} northeast of the region's lowest point, [[Lake Enriquillo]], 46 m (151 ft) below sea level. It is part of the [[Cordillera Central, Dominican Republic|Cordillera Central]] range, which extends from the plains between [[San Cristóbal, Dominican Republic|San Cristóbal]] and [[Baní]] to the northwestern peninsula of [[Haiti]], where it is known as the [[Massif du Nord]]. The highest elevations of the Cordillera Central are found in the Pico Duarte and Valle Nuevo [[massif]]s.
