Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Neblina massif (also known as Cerro la Neblina or Serrania la Neblina in Spanish) is a sandstone mountain located in the Northern Amazon Basin. The massif is a tilted, heavily eroded plateau, with a deep canyon in its central portion (Cañón Grande), drained by the Baria River. The south-eastern ridge of the massif forms part of the Venezuela-Brasil border, and it is where the massif reaches its highest elevation, the Pico da Neblina in Brazilian territory. The massif was first explored in 1954 by an American expedition that performed aerial inspection and then climbed the massif's north-western slopes.
