Pico do Barbado, Mountain peak in Bahia, Brazil.

Pico do Barbado rises to 6,670 feet (2,033 meters) above sea level, making it the highest point in Bahia and northeastern Brazil within Chapada Diamantina National Park.

Pico do Barbado lies on the boundary between the municipalities of Rio do Pires and Abaíra, in Bahia. The sources record no colonial mining trails or indigenous navigation use on the peak; they place it within the Chapada Diamantina and its Serra do Barbado environmental protection area. The summit is reached on foot by trail from Catolés.

The peak lies in the Serra do Barbado Environmental Protection Area, created for its botanical richness, and is part of Chapada Diamantina. Hikers set out from Catolés, a village in the municipality of Abaíra; the summit marks the border with Rio do Pires. The name Barbado, "bearded", is the detail to look for in the local landscape.

Visitors can access the summit trail from the town of Catolés via unpaved roads, and should prepare for variable weather conditions and respect park conservation regulations during their trek.

The peak lies on the boundary between the municipalities of Rio do Pires and Abaíra, and the surrounding Serra do Barbado area is an environmental protection area (Área de Proteção Ambiental da Serra do Barbado) noted for its botanical richness. The summit is reached on foot from Catolés, a village in the municipality of Abaíra.
