The memorial is located alongside the Pan-American Hiway, high up on the Cerro de la Muerte (Mountain of Death) near the tiny village of San Gerardo De Dota (population 150). The memorial appears to have been moved or damaged, as it tilts awkwardly and is dislodged from the earth.
The Plaque reads:
"A La Memoria Del Profesor Pedro Manuel Ramirez Briceno
