In the Andes, the structure is visible at a distance of up to 250 miles (400 kilometers) on clear days. Due to their remote location, the origins of Cerro El Cono remained a mystery. Some reports suggest that “The Cone Hill” may just be a peculiar rock structure, while others speculate that it can be an extinct volcano.
Theories of origin

Another explanation – for which there is no evidence – is that Cerro El Cono sits in the ruins of a pyramid built by ancient indigenous tribes.
