Talk:Cerro Bonete

Coordinates
I don't know were do the current coordinates (37°57′S 62°12′W) come from. I saw the Spanish article also has them, but those are placed outside the La Rioja Province!

Other sources I found say otherwise:
 * University of North Dakota: 27º53'S; 68º50'W
 * ASA (data from INSTITUTO GEOGRÁFICO MILITAR) 27º 52' 68º 49'

I'll change the information acordingly. Mariano (t/c) 08:10, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

4th Highest
Hmmm, Cerro Bonete is 4th highest in the Americas at 6759m. Yet Huascarán is the 4th highest in the Americas at 6768m. Something doesn't jibe. NevarMaor (talk)

Wrong coordinates
The above coordinates are not correct: they are just the approximative coordinates of the large volcano, not the exact location of the highest point of the Cerro Bonete. Using Google Earth is easy to confirm that at the above coordinates there are no peaks, just the hilly center of the caldera and the altitude is barely 5580m. Using Google Maps the correct location seems to be at 28° 01' 07" S, 68° 45' 22" W (Cerro Bonete on Google Maps). Moreover the picture File:Cerro Bonete.jpg, taken from NW, confirms it: as you can see this virtual view is very similar. Also the altitude data on the map (about 6740m) is pretty close to the official value for Cerro Bonete. Since Google Maps name, location, altitude and images are perfectly consistent and the photograph actually confirm them, I will change the coordinates using as source "Google Maps". Let me know if you find additional sources about the exact location of the peak. -- Basilicofresco  (msg) 15:29, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
