Pico de Príncipe, Mountain summit in Príncipe Island, São Tomé and Príncipe
The Pico de Príncipe reaches an elevation of 947 meters above sea level and features vertical towers of phonolite rock rising from dense rainforest.
The first documented expedition to Pico de Príncipe took place in 1929, establishing a research base at the mountain summit for scientific observations.
The mountain forms part of a proposed conservation area incorporating three other peaks: Mesa, Pico Papagaio, and Pico Mencorne, protecting local biodiversity.
Access to the summit requires navigation through steep terrain with drop-offs on three sides, starting from a plateau at 600 to 700 meters elevation.
The mountain hosts 28 different bird species, including seven that exist exclusively on Príncipe Island, along with endemic plants and insects.
