Pico da Gomeira

Pico da Gomeira is a mountain summit in Serra da Mantiqueira that reaches 2,068 meters above sea level and is covered with dense forest. The terrain features multiple hiking paths that wind through different elevations and offer varying perspectives of the surrounding landscape.

The area played a strategic role during the 1932 Constitutional Revolution when São Paulo troops defended it against federal forces. This episode left its mark on how the region views its past.

Local mountaineering groups regularly organize expeditions to the summit, maintaining traditional climbing routes and sharing knowledge with new generations.

The hike to the summit takes approximately seven kilometers starting from the SP 052 road, and visitors should prepare for demanding terrain and elevation changes. Local conditions can shift quickly, so proper planning is essential before heading out.

The peak sits at the border between São Paulo and Minas Gerais states, making it possible to see both regions from the summit. On clear days, hikers can observe the different landscapes of each state from a single vantage point.
