Pico do Itapeva, Mountain summit in Pindamonhangaba, Brazil.
Pico do Itapeva reaches an altitude of 2,025 meters and offers views extending across seven cities in the Vale do Paraíba region of São Paulo state.
The mountain's name originates from the Tupi language, combining 'ita' meaning stone and 'pec' meaning flat, reflecting its geological characteristics through indigenous terminology.
For many years, the summit hosted a traditional market for clothing and handicrafts until environmental preservation laws required its removal in 2014.
Visitors can reach the summit via a paved road from Campos do Jordão, making it one of the highest vehicle-accessible points in Brazil.
The peak sits just 35 meters from the border between Pindamonhangaba and Campos do Jordão, creating an interesting geographical boundary at its summit.
