Pico 31 de Março Mountain

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.

Access requires river and jungle travel organised through Manaus or regional Amazonas bases; multi-day boat trips and guides are necessary. Visitors must travel with a licensed operator familiar with local regulations and indigenous territories.

• Pico 31 de Março is deep in the Amazon-organise travel with an experienced jungle operator and expect multi-day river transport.
• Permits and environmental regulations apply-work through a reputable outfitter who handles military/indigenous permissions if necessary.
• Vaccinations and insect protection are essential; weather can make travel plans change at short notice.
