The Pierre Auger Observatory, in the south of Mendoza province (Argentina), is the largest facility in the world to observe ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECR) and has been taking data for more than fifteen years. It is designed to simultaneously detect the longitudinal development of the extensive air showers in the atmosphere and measure of particles’ densities at ground level. This hybrid technique allowed us to produce results with unprecedented precision. In this talk, we report on the latest updates on the spectrum, mass composition and arrival directions of cosmic rays in the range of $10^{16.5}$ eV to $10^{20.0}$ eV.
