About the Expedition
Led by Osmar H. Fontes, the expedition is organized with Indigenous partners and approved by FUNAI, ICMBio, the Brazilian Army, ISA, and AYRCA.
Every step is guided, legal, and designed for a safe, authentic, and deeply respectful connection to the forest and its ancestral guardians.
Pico da Neblina isn’t just a mountain — it’s a portal.
Those who climb it never return the same.
