Cerro de la Neblina (lit. "Mountain of the Mist"〔Myers, C.W., E.E. Williams & R.W. McDiarmid (9 September 1993). (A new anoline lizard (''Phenacosaurus'') from the highland of Cerro de la Neblina, southern Venezuela ). ''American Museum Novitates'', no. 3070: 1–15.〕), also known as Serra da Neblina in Brazil〔 Cronemberger, F.M., P. Wallace, E. Bertold, R.R. de Oliveira & J. Bastos (2007).

Sociedade de Ecologia do Brasil.〕 and Sierra de la Neblina in Venezuela,〔 is a sandstone massif located in the northern Amazon Basin. It is a tilted, heavily eroded plateau, with a deep canyon in its central portion (Cañón Grande), drained by the Baria River. The southeastern ridge of the massif forms part of the Brazil–Venezuela border, and it is where the massif reaches its highest elevation, the Pico da Neblina in Brazilian territory. At above sea level,〔() (13 September 2004). (Four Brazilian peaks have their altitude changed ). Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística.〕 this is the highest mountain of the entire Guayana Shield.〔 The slightly shorter Pico 31 de Março / Pico Phelps lies a few hundred metres away on the border itself and is Brazil's second-highest mountain, and the highest mountain in Venezuela outside of the Andes. The massif's other named peaks include Pico Cardona, Pico Maguire, and Pico Zuloaga.〔〔 Brewer-Carías, C. (2012–2013). ''Río Verde'' 9: 73–88.〕 To the north of Cerro de la Neblina lie the smaller outcrops of Cerro Aracamuni and Cerro Avispa, both reaching approximately in elevation.〔Huber, O. (1995).

Missouri Botanical Garden Press, St. Louis. pp. 1–61.〕 The massif was first explored in 1954 by an American expedition led by Bassett Maguire that performed an aerial inspection and then climbed the massif's northwestern slopes.〔Maguire, B.
