'''Monte Guilarte''', also known as '''Monte del Guaraguao''', is the fifth-highest peak in [Puerto Rico](/source/Puerto_Rico) at {{convert|1199|m|ft|0|sp=us}} above sea level.

It is so named after Captain [Juan Guilarte de Salazar](/source/Spanish%E2%80%93Ta%C3%ADno_War_of_San_Juan%E2%80%93Borik%C3%A9n), a Spanish explorer and Conquistador, who was one of the first settlers of Puerto Rico. In 1513, Guilarte de Salazar led a column of 50 men to victory against 600 [Taíno](/source/Ta%C3%ADno) Indians in the southwest of the island.

The mountain and its surroundings encompasses the [Guilarte State Forest](/source/Guilarte_State_Forest), located in [Guilarte, Adjuntas, Puerto Rico](/source/Guilarte%2C_Adjuntas%2C_Puerto_Rico).[[File:Guilarte Forest.jpg|thumb|[Guilarte State Forest](/source/Guilarte_State_Forest)|center]]
