Pico do Itaguaré, Mountain peak in Serra da Mantiqueira, Brazil
The Pico do Itaguaré reaches 2,308 meters in height and presents steep slopes that become increasingly rocky as the elevation increases.
The name Itaguaré originates from the indigenous Tupi language, with interpretations referring to either a sacred stone or a cracked stone formation.
Local inhabitants named the mountain 'Sleeping Giant' due to its silhouette resembling the profile of a person lying down when viewed from Cruzeiro city.
The hiking trail extends for 10 kilometers with a cumulative elevation gain of 1,120 meters, requiring technical climbing skills in several sections.
Inside the mountain lies the Swallow Cave, a natural shelter housing thousands of tame swallows, accessed through a challenging path known by few local residents.
