Pico da Bandeira, Mountain summit at Caparaó National Park, Brazil.

Pico da Bandeira is a mountain summit located in Caparaó National Park, reaching 2,892 meters in height and spanning across Espírito Santo and Minas Gerais states. The climb passes through multiple vegetation zones with grasslands, rock formations, and alpine plants visible along the route.

Around 1859 Emperor Pedro II ordered an imperial flag raised on what was then believed to be Brazil's highest point, giving the peak its name. It kept that status until 1965, when Pico da Neblina and Pico 31 de Março near the Venezuelan border were explored and measured and proved higher. The IBGE's 1977 topographic chart places the summit itself inside Espírito Santo, a few metres from the Minas Gerais line, yet the institute lists it as the culminating point of both states.

The peak marks a natural border between two Brazilian states, and visitors gather at the summit to experience sunrises and sunsets from this elevated vantage point.

The summit track runs about 9 km with a 1,000 m climb, and the 8 km approach road from the park entrance can be driven by most vehicles. There are no restaurants inside the park, only water sources, so carry food and drink. Bring warm, dry clothing: sweat-soaked clothes can cause hypothermia once they cool. Signage is weak at trail junctions, so a guide helps on a first ascent.

Pico da Bandeira's topographic isolation is 2,344 km: no point of equal or greater elevation lies nearer. The closest higher ground is "Pico 2960" in the Tarija department of Bolivia. In the Americas only Aconcagua, Denali, Pico de Orizaba and Mount Whitney are more isolated, and worldwide only 20 other summits are.
