Pico 31 de Março

Pico 31 de Março, or Pico Trinta e Um de Março in full, also known as Pico Phelps, is a mountain on the border between Brazil and Venezuela. It is Brazil's second highest mountain, rising 2,974 metres (9,757 feet) above sea level. It is part of the Neblina massif, and Pico da Neblina, Brazil's highest peak, is only 687 meters (2,254 feet) away. Pico 31 de Março can be thought of as a secondary summit of Pico da Neblina. As a result, it is usually climbed by expeditions whose primary goal is to reach the other peak. The two are connected by a col that can be easily traversed in about an hour.

Pico da Neblina, part of the Pico 31 de Março massif, is the highest point on the Guiana Shield. In both Portuguese and Spanish, the word neblina means "fog." The mountains are protected by the Pico da Neblina National Park in Brazil, and their northern slopes are also protected by the Serranía de la Neblina National Park in Venezuela. Together with the neighboring Parima Tapirapecó National Park (Venezuela), the twin parks form a protected area complex of approximately 80,000 km2, possibly the world's largest national park system on tropical rainforests.
