El Cerro del Coronel is located at 15 km to the southeast of the Center of Rosarito. Many stories exist about apparitions and burials in said place that date all the way back to the year 1800: When an army colonel of the United States deserts and flees to Baja California with a big cargo of stolen gold, he finds refuge in the cave called Coronel where he hides his gold, which according to the legend, remains hidden.

Its true value is scenic and we can, on clear days, see the view from Point Loma in California until the Todos Santos island in Baja California. Also, you can find a great variety of flora and wild fauna which is characteristic of the zone.
