Pico do Itambé, Mountain summit in Espinhaço Mountains, Brazil.

Pico do Itambé reaches an elevation of 2,062 meters above sea level, featuring dense forests and distinct mountain landscapes in Minas Gerais state.

The state park surrounding Pico do Itambé was established by decree in January 1998, becoming part of the Espinhaço Mosaic conservation units in 2010.

The name Itambé derives from indigenous languages, meaning sharp stone, reflecting the local communities' connection to the mountain's distinct characteristics.

Visitors need authorization from park authorities to access the 3.5-kilometer trail leading to the summit, with white arrows marking the path.

Scientists discovered two endemic species near the peak: the Orthophytum itambense bromeliad in 2007 and the Crossodactylodes itambe amphibian in 2011.
