Las Tetas De Cayey, also known as "Cerro Las Tetas" and "Cerro del Torito", are two mountain peaks in Cayey, Puerto Rico, so nicknamed for their similarity to a woman's breasts (the word "tetas" is colloquial for "breasts" in Spanish, much like the English word "tits"). They are located near the Monumento al Jíbaro Puertorriqueño statue located on Highway PR-52.
It is believed these mountains were used in the Cuban coat of arms in an effort to symbolize the union between Puerto Rico and Cuba against Spain[citation needed].
