Seeing the comments here I just searched for an alternative article. This has a nice picture of the dormant volcanic cone called El Cono: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amusingplanet.com&#x2F;2016&#x2F;01&#x2F;sierra-del-divisor-national-park-peru.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amusingplanet.com&#x2F;2016&#x2F;01&#x2F;sierra-del-divisor-nat...</a>

Not that remote, seems to be less than a 100km away from an airport, a short helicopter ride. Surely someone must have visited the site to figure out what&#x27;s underneath the vegetation.

Pretty weird article. Just on the title alone:<p>- &#x27;Mysterious&#x27;: there&#x27;s very little of substance in the article to advance the position that it is mysterious at all.<p>- &#x27;Sacred&#x27;: OK, I guess!<p>- &#x27;Pyramid&#x27;: &quot;A fourth explanation — one for which there is no evidence — is that Cerro El Cono sits on the ruins of a pyramid built by ancient Indigenous tribes&quot;. So... no evidence then :)<p>- &#x27;Hidden&#x27;: &quot;It rises steeply from the relatively flat jungle landscape of eastern Peru, making it visible from as far west as the Andes — 250 miles (400 kilometers) away — on a clear day.&quot;

That website is almost unreadable. So much crap littered around.
