Pico do Selado

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

Pico do Selado is a summit of the Serra da Mantiqueira reaching 2,082 metres, on the boundary between the Monte Verde district of Camanducaia, Minas Gerais, and the São Paulo municipalities of Joanópolis and São José dos Campos, whose São Francisco Xavier district lies on the slope. Its summit area is the point where these three territories meet.

The summit lies on the boundary between Camanducaia (Minas Gerais), Joanópolis and São José dos Campos (São Paulo). The Serra da Mantiqueira, where the peak stands, was inhabited by indigenous peoples before Portuguese colonizers arrived to exploit timber and mineral resources. This activity shaped the surrounding communities over centuries.

The name Selado refers to a saddle, and the peak sits on the boundary between Monte Verde, in Camanducaia (Minas Gerais), and the São Paulo municipalities of Joanópolis and São José dos Campos, whose São Francisco Xavier district lies on its slopes. Walkers pass between these jurisdictions on the trails.

Several marked trails lead to the summit, offering options for hikers of different experience levels to reach the peak. Nearby communities have accommodations such as guesthouses and camping areas that make visiting this region convenient.

The summit marks the point where three different municipalities meet, connecting Camanducaia in Minas Gerais with Joanópolis and São Francisco Xavier in São Paulo state in a single geographic location. This border position makes the peak a rare convergence point of three administrative territories.
