Pico do Cabugi, Extinct volcano in Angicos, Brazil.
Pico do Cabugi rises 590 meters above the landscape within the Cabugi Ecological State Park, displaying its conical volcanic structure against the northeastern Brazilian horizon.
The mountain formed through geological activity during the tertiary period, with scientific analysis indicating the igneous rocks date back approximately 19 million years.
The name Cabuji originates from the Tupi language, and local researchers suggest this peak was the first land mass Portuguese explorer Pedro Álvares Cabral spotted.
Visitors should start hiking early morning or late afternoon to avoid intense heat, wearing long sleeves, sturdy boots, and carrying sufficient water supplies.
The volcanic formation contains small xenoliths that originated from 60 kilometers beneath Earth's surface, offering insights into deep geological processes.
