Cedro Arriba is a barrio located in Naranjito, a municipality in the central interior region of Puerto Rico, situated in the foothills and mountainous terrain that characterizes the island's heartland. The barrio's name references the cedar trees historically found in this elevated terrain, reflecting its position in the higher-altitude landscape that defines much of Naranjito's geography. This area sits roughly in the middle of the island, inland from the coastal plains, placing it in a zone known for cooler temperatures and significant rainfall compared to the drier coastal regions.
