Pico do Urubu

The Pico do Urubu rises to an elevation of 1,169 meters within the Serra do Itapeti mountain range, featuring dense forest coverage and steep slopes.

The mountain received its name from local inhabitants who observed numerous black vultures circling its peak during their daily flight patterns.

The Serra do Itapeti region serves as a training ground for Brazilian mountain athletes preparing for national and international skyrunning competitions.

Visitors can access the mountain through multiple entry points, with the main trailhead located near the Vila Santista Club in Mogi das Cruzes.

The summit provides views extending across São Paulo state, revealing both the Atlantic Forest landscape and the metropolitan region's urban expansion.
