Pico do Selado, Mountain summit in Minas Gerais, Brazil.

Located between Monte Verde district and São Francisco Xavier, Pico do Selado reaches an elevation of 2,082 meters within the Serra da Mantiqueira mountain range.

The Serra da Mantiqueira region, where Pico do Selado stands, was initially inhabited by indigenous peoples before Portuguese colonizers arrived seeking timber and mineral resources.

The mountain's name derives from its characteristic flat-topped shape, resembling a saddle, which has become integrated into local geographical references and traditions.

Multiple marked trails lead to the summit of Pico do Selado, with accommodations including guesthouses and camping sites available in neighboring communities.

The summit marks the border between three distinct municipalities: Camanducaia in Minas Gerais, and Joanópolis and São Francisco Xavier in São Paulo state.
