Description

Buttu Puang is a named peak in Tana Toraja Regency, South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia, at roughly 2°57′43″S 119°37′15″E. The point is recorded in OpenStreetMap as natural=peak (sourced from the NGA-GNS gazetteer) and has entries in GeoNames (7088756) and Wikidata (Q25298491, classified as a "mountain"). The open Open-Meteo digital elevation model at this coordinate returns about 1,927 m; this figure is DEM-derived rather than surveyed and is therefore only approximate (the SRTM-based Cebuano Wikipedia article lists differing auto-generated bounding-box figures that are less reliable). The name "buttu" means "mountain" in the Toraja/Mandar languages, a naming pattern common across the mountains of southern and western Sulawesi. Note that several distinct features in the Toraja region share the name "Buttu Puang"; this entry refers specifically to the peak at the coordinate above (Wikidata Q25298491, not the same-named items tens of kilometres away). Beyond its position, approximate elevation, and classification as a mountain, Buttu Puang has virtually no verified climbing, trail, Indonesian-Wikipedia, or dedicated-photo documentation; this profile is deliberately limited to referenceable geographic facts.
