Pico dos Marins
Pico dos Marins is a Brazilian mountain peak located between the cities of Piquete and Cruzeiro in the state of São Paulo. The peak is only about 1 kilometer (0.62 mi) south of the state border with Minas Gerais, but it is entirely within So Paulo territory. It is a short spur of the Mantiqueira Mountains' southwestern section, with an elevation of 2,420.7 meters (7,942 ft). The mountain was climbed for the first time in 1911.
The Marins Massif's main assembly consists of three sharp rocky peaks, all of which are over 2,000 meters above sea level and have hundreds of meters of rocky cliffs. Pico dos Marins, despite being the highest of the three, is the most accessible to climbers due to its less vertical north face. Deep valleys cut by canyons and dense vegetation make it much more difficult to climb than its neighbors. Marins, Maria, and Mariana are the names of the peaks from north to south.
