Pico do Itacolomi, Mountain peak in Ouro Preto and Mariana, Brazil.
The Itacolomi Peak reaches 1,772 meters in altitude and stands as a natural formation within the Itacolomi State Park of Minas Gerais.
In 1698, explorer Antonio Dias de Oliveira used the peak to locate the Tripui Valley, leading to significant gold discoveries in the region.
The name Itacolomi comes from indigenous Tupi language, combining 'ita' meaning stone and 'kunumi' meaning boy, translating to 'stone boy'.
The park encompasses 7,543 hectares of protected land, offering an eight-kilometer hiking trail that takes approximately two hours to reach the peak base.
The mountain houses over 200 bird species and contains specific flora, including the Habenaria itacolumia orchid found only in this location.
