Mount Roraima Hike

$3195 per person

Mount Roraima is the highest of the Pakaraima chain of tepui plateaus in South America, with an elevation of 2,810 m (9,270 ft). The mountains of this range, including Roraima, are part of the Guianan Shield, considered to be some of the oldest geological formations known, dating back to two-billion years ago. Culturally, the mountain has long held significance to the indigenous people of the area and features prominently in their myths and folklore. This unique ecosystem includes several endemic species, including a carnivorous pitcher plant, and some of the highest waterfalls in the world, no less than Angel Falls.

Mount Roraima, is also part of Venezuela’s 30000-square-kilometer Canaima National Park, and borders three different countries (Venezuela, Brazil and Guyana). While its cliff walls are only scalable by professional and experienced climbers, the Venezuela side offers a hiking path up the mountain’s natural ramp.
