Pico do Jaraguá, Mountain summit in São Paulo, Brazil.
The Pico do Jaraguá rises 1,135 meters above sea level as part of the Serra da Cantareira range, offering views across the metropolitan region of São Paulo.
Portuguese explorer Afonso Sardinha discovered gold deposits on the mountain in 1580, leading to mining operations that continued through the nineteenth century.
The name derives from Tupi language meaning 'Lord of the Valley', reflecting the indigenous heritage of the region and its geographical dominance.
Two main hiking paths, Trilha da Bica and Trilha do Pai Zé, provide access to the summit, with the park operating daily from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
Television networks installed a 130-meter transmission mast at the peak during the 1960s, combining natural heritage with broadcasting technology.
