Pico da Ibituruna, Mountain peak in Governador Valadares, Brazil

The Pico da Ibituruna rises to 1,123 meters above sea level, forming a prominent geological structure visible from multiple points throughout Governador Valadares.

The initial European exploration of Pico da Ibituruna occurred in 1573 by Sebastião Fernandes Tourinho, marking the beginning of Western contact with this region.

The name Ibituruna comes from the Tupi language, referring to the dark coloration of the rocks that constitute the mountain's structure.

The mountain summit can be reached within 30 minutes by car from Governador Valadares city center via a paved brick road.

Since 1977, Pico da Ibituruna has established itself as a premier location for hang gliding and paragliding due to its favorable thermal conditions.
