Description

Pico da Neblina (2,995 m) is the highest point of Brazil, rising in the Serra do Imeri of the Guiana Highlands, deep in the Amazon rainforest of Amazonas state, just inside Brazilian territory near the Venezuelan border. Its name means 'Peak of the Mist'—the summit is frequently shrouded in cloud. It lies within Yanomami indigenous land and Pico da Neblina National Park; the trek was closed for roughly two decades and only reopened in 2019 under a co-management agreement with the Yanomami community, with limited quotas and guides from the Maturacá village. The route is a demanding multi-day rainforest trek—hot, humid, muddy, with many river crossings, a 'Bem-te-vi' base camp, and some rock scrambling near the top. Access is via São Gabriel da Cachoeira, then by boat/road into Yanomami territory.

Climbing Experiences

Pico da Neblina (2,995 m), Brazil's highest point, is a demanding multi-day Amazon rainforest trek inside Yanomami indigenous land. After being closed for roughly two decades, the route reopened from 2019 under the community-led 'Yaripo' plan—guides and porters come from the Maturacá village, visitor numbers are capped, and revenue flows to local communities. The reports below include Brazilian news features, expedition vlogs, and coverage of the reopening—conveying the heat, mud, river crossings, misty summit, and the cultural dimension of the climb.
