Pico 31 de Março
Mountain Remote Amazon peak near Brazil–Venezuela border
Remote summit in Amazonas near the Brazil-Venezuela border, part of the Neblina massif. Serious trekkers visit for high Amazonian rainforest, river valleys and the logistical challenge of multi‑day, guided expeditions into protected, indigenous lands.
Pico 31 de Março is a high summit in the Neblina massif on the Brazil-Venezuela frontier within the remote Amazon uplands of Amazonas state. It lies within the same highland complex that contains Brazil’s highest mountain.
The peak is notable for its very remote jungle setting and rugged tepui-style terrain, requiring long approaches through rainforest and sensitive ecosystems. Access is restricted and logistically complex, typically organised as multi-day expeditions with government and indigenous-community permissions.
The summit forms part of the Neblina ridge system and shares the area’s geology and ecological significance as an isolated highland island in Amazon lowland forest.
- Border location: Located on the Brazil-Venezuela border inside the Neblina massif and the broader protected area around Pico da Neblina.
- Relative height: Often counted as Brazil's second-highest summit and part of a remote, highland tepui complex surrounded by Amazon rainforest.
