Pico da Gomeira, Mountain summit in Serra da Mantiqueira, Brazil.
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.
The peak lies between Cruzeiro, São Paulo, and Passa Quatro, Minas Gerais, just before the Serra Fina ridge. Its 2,068-metre summit is reached by trekking and mountaineering parties, and the dense forest around the top makes the route risky for amateurs.
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 summit lies between Cruzeiro, São Paulo, and Passa Quatro, Minas Gerais, but the state line does not cross the peak itself. The 1932 Constitutionalist trenches were part of a defensive line, and the dense forest near the top still hides traces of that position.
