The Pierre Auger Observatory, in the south of Mendoza province (Argentina), is the largest facilityin the world to observe ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECR) and has been taking data for morethan fifteen years. It is designed to simultaneously detect the longitudinal development of theextensive air showers in the atmosphere and measure of particles’ densities at ground level. Thishybrid technique allowed us to produce results with unprecedented precision. In this talk, wereport on the latest updates on the spectrum, mass composition and arrival directions of cosmicrays in the range of 10**16.5 eV to 10**20.0 eV.
