Brazil · Americas · 2,891 m · 20.44°S, 41.80°W

Pico da Bandeira, or Bandeira Peak, is the highest mountain in Brazil outside of the Amazon, the third overall, situated on the border of Espírito Santo and Minas Gerais states. It is the highest point in both states. It was considered the highest mountain in Brazil until 1965, when Pico da Neblina and Pico 31 de Março, next to the Venezuelan border, were explored, measured, and both found to be higher. The peak is said to have been so named after Pedro II, Emperor of Brazil, ordered a flag to be flown on top of it. Pico da Bandeira is ranked 21st by topographic isolation.
