Mark Eckl's notes = Access to this point is through El Salvador. We arrived at the parks entrance but were denied use of the access road. Arturo assured me that this station existed. For access we need to get a permit from the El Salvadorian government to use the access road. This point marks the boundary between El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. It was also used as a fiducial point in the 1984 NIMA network.

THE SITE HAS BEEN DISTURBED BUT THE TWO REFERENCE MARK AND
EXISTING EVIDENCE STILL EXIST.

THE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTION IS QUOTED DIRECTLY FORM THE ENGLISH
VERSION OF THE DESCRIPTION OF TRIANGULATION POINTS BY THE IGS WITH
THE EXCEPTION FOR THE 18 KM DISTANCE. WE MEASURED THE DISTANCE
FROM LAS HUATAS TO CORINTO STATION TO BE 23 KM. "THE STATION IS IN
LAS FLORES, A VILLAGE IN YORO; ON CORINTO MOUNTIAN. IT CAN BE
REACHED BY CAR LEAVING FROM YORO AND TAKING THE ROAD TO JOCON.
AT 6 KMS FOLLOW LAS HUATAS DETOUR 23 KM TO CORINTO STATION. AN
OBSERVATION TOWER BELONGING TO COHDEFOR IS N THE HILL ABOUT 90
MTS. FROM THE CENTRAL MONUMENT. THIS RELATIVELY SMALL HILL
WHERE THE STATION IS LOCATED IS COVERED BY PINE TREES AND
LOCATED IS NEAR THE VILLAGES OF CORINTO AND CASA BLANCA. THE CAR
CAN ONLY REACH THE FOOT OF THE HIL; WALK FOR 30 MINUTES. THE TWO
REFERENCE MARKS ARE IN GOOD CONDITION." THERE IS A CARETAKER AT
THE COHDEFOR TOWER NAMED JOSE NICOLAS CALERES. WE ALSO MET
WITH SALOMON DIAZ, A LOCAL RESIDENT, WHO CAN GUIDE YOU TO THE
SITE BUT THE PATH IS CLEAR. THIS WAS A FULL DAY TRIP FROM SAN PEDRO
SULA. I AM SURE THAT YOU CAN FIND LODGING SOMEWHERE IN THE
VICINITY BUT YOU WILL NEED TO TRAVEL THE 23 KM WITH THE 30 MIN HIKE
DAILY IF YOU DO NOT STAY AT THE SITE. BRING PLENTY OF WATER WITH
YOU AND ANYTHING ELSE YOU MAY NEED.

Mark Eckl's Notes = Arturo assured me that this station is in good condition and good for GPS.

NOT MUCH TO DO IN PUERTO CORTEZ. THERE ARE PLENTY OF STORES,
