Pico da Rajada, Mountain summit in Maranguape, Brazil
Pico da Rajada is a mountain summit in Maranguape rising to about 1,200 meters (3,937 feet). The peak displays plant and animal life found in Brazilian mountain regions, with dense vegetation covering its slopes.
Indigenous peoples lived in the region around Pico da Rajada long before European settlers arrived in the state of Ceara. The mountain has been part of the area's history for centuries.
Local people use the mountain for traditional gatherings and celebrations throughout the year. The peak holds meaning for communities as a place connected to their relationship with the land.
The best time to hike is during the dry season when weather is more stable at higher elevations. Bring good walking shoes and water, as conditions can change quickly on the mountain.
