Monte Caburaí is a mountain in northern Brazil that marks the country’s northernmost territorial point. It is a notable geographic boundary feature on the Brazil-Guyana frontier.

A remote, forested summit rather than a developed tourist site, it is visited mainly by people interested in geography, border landmarks and remote trekking. There are no major visitor facilities at the site.

The mountain is a natural landmark used in mapping and border delimitation between Brazil and neighboring Guyana. It has been identified on national maps as the extreme north point of Brazil.

Monte Caburaí sits in northern Brazil near the border with Guyana, within the broad Amazonian rainforest region of the country; the regional capital Boa Vista is the nearest major city.

  • Northernmost point: Marks the northernmost point of Brazil's territory and is a reference for the national border with neighboring Guyana.
  • Access: Situated in a remote rainforest area with limited visitor facilities; access typically requires river travel and multi-day overland routes.
