Description

Pico da Neblina, also called Yaripo, is Brazil’s highest summit at about 2,995 m, in the Serra do Imeri near Venezuela. The summit stands on the Brazilian side within the national park and Yanomami Indigenous Territory; quartz-rich rocks form this non-volcanic mountain. Tourist visits resumed in 2022 through the Yanomami-led Yaripo program, while the 2019 news coverage concerned a proposed reopening. Access begins in São Gabriel da Cachoeira, with vehicle and boat transfers to Maturacá followed by several days on forest trails. Climbers describe rain, river crossings and hammock camps, then steep rock with ropes and metal footholds near the summit. Visits operate under the Yaripo plan and ICMBio accreditation; schedules depend on community decisions and river conditions.

Climbing Experiences

Climbers describe river access, forest trekking and a rocky ascent with Yanomami teams. Matthew Holt’s experience differs from Rodrigo Silva’s 2014 research expedition; older durations and permit arrangements are not standard instructions for current visits.
