Locally, Rantemario is more commonly referred to as Latimojong. Latimojong can also designate the local mountain range and wilderness area of which Rantemario is the highest peak.

Rantemario can be climbed from the village of Kerangan and has eight designated "Pos" staging points, some of which are suitable for camping and have access to water. The nearest town is Baraka, 8 km off the main highway between Makassar and Tana Toraja.
