Description

Buttu Talende is a forested peak in the highland interior of South Sulawesi (Sulawesi Selatan) Province, Indonesia, at roughly 2°50′S 119°43′E. In local Sulawesi languages (Mandar/Toraja), the word "buttu" means hill or mountain. This entry refers specifically to the point with Wikidata Q25299506 / GeoNames 7088862 / OpenStreetMap node 1070155201. GeoNames and its derived Cebuano Wikipedia article list an elevation of about 2,024 m (roughly 52 m above the surrounding terrain, indicating the peak sits within already-high country), while the open Open-Meteo digital elevation model at the same point returns about 1,969 m; both are estimates with no surveyed value, so the exact height is unvalidated. The surrounding land is hilly to the northwest and becomes mountainous to the southeast; the nearest higher point reaches about 2,231 m, roughly 1.7 km to the west, and mountains are a common landform across this region. The surrounding slopes are almost entirely forested with moderate population density (about 120 people per km²); the average temperature is relatively cool (~13 °C, with the warmest month, October, around 16 °C), consistent with the altitude. The point is recorded in OpenStreetMap as natural=peak from the NGA-GNS gazetteer and has a Wikidata entry. Beyond its position, approximate elevation, climate, and forest cover, Buttu Talende has virtually no verified climbing, trail, or dedicated-photo documentation; this profile is deliberately limited to referenceable geographic facts.
