For reasons of topographical prominence, the IBGE considers Pico do Calçado a secondary peak of Pico da Bandeira and not a separate mountain. For this reason, it does not include it in its ranking of the highest mountains in Brazil, although the peak altitude measurement by GPS was carried out by the Pontos Culminantes do Brasil Project. For the same reason, its altitude was not revised in 2016 due to the new mapping of the geoid by the IBGE, contrary to what happened with other Brazilian peaks.
