Mount Roraima - Mysterious Mountain

Mount Roraima, at 2,800 metres, is the tallest tepuy (“Table Mountain” in Spanish) in South America. The name came from the Pemon word ‘Roroi-ma’, meaning “big blue green”. Trekking up its Venezuela side, the Gran Sabana takes you to the summit. While its cliff walls are only scalable by the most experienced of climbers, there is a path up the mountain’s natural ramp-like path (usually a two-day hike). In 1884 Sir Everardim Thurn became the first person recorded to climb Roraima.

However, the mountain is worth a visit for more reasons than its impressive cliffs. Mount Roraima, part of Venezuela's 30000-square-kilometer Canaima National Park, is the site of the highest peak of the country of Guyana’s Highland Range. The mountains of this range, including Roraima, are considered to be some of the oldest geological formations known, some dating back to two billion years ago. Its near daily rains have also created a unique ecosystem which includes several endemic species, such as a unique carnivorous pitcher plant, and some of the highest waterfalls in the world.

Culturally, the mountain has long held significance to the indigenous people of the area and features prominently in their myths and folklore. This remote landscape of jungle and cliffs has inspired the dinosaur infested landscapes of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s novel The Lost World, and the dramatic waterfalls dubbed Paradise Falls in the 2009 Pixar film Up.

Join Redfern Adventures' Lost World of Mount Roraima Expedition

Join Redfern Adventures ( ) for an expedition to the spectacular summit of Mount Roraima, known as South America's 'Lost World'.

This 12-day itinerary is a trekking expedition that involves ascending a ledge up Mount Roraima's cliffsides to spend four days on the summit of Mount Roraima to discover the wonders that the mountain holds: its vast labyrinth of stone pinnacles, caves, the valley of the crystals, the triple-point border between Venezuela, Guyana and Brazil, and of course, unique wildlife, including orchids and carnivorous plants!

This trip includes a day exploring the Gran Sabana, and an optional add on trip to canoe to the base of Angel Falls, the tallest waterfall on Earth.

As a responsible tourism operator, Redfern Adventures will: (1) pay all indigenous Pemon guides a very fair wage, (2) make a donation to the Pemon community (to benefit their school) and (3) we will also hire a rubbish collector as part of our team, to collect litter from the summit of Mount Roraima, to ensure the mountain is in a better state than when we arrive!

Join Redfern Adventures on this amazing expedition to South America's 'Lost World'.

The Lost World - Mount Roraima

Mount Roraima is one the most mysterious and alluring mountains in the world. An enormous flat-topped mesa, its sheer cliffs rise from one of the most remote areas of the Amazon rain forest. It is entirely appropriate that Conan Doyle used Roraima as the inspiration for the novel Lost World, a tale of modern dinosaurs.

The mountain is a vast heart-shaped plateau, with the area of the rolling summit area about 50 sq.km or 20 sq. miles. It lies in three countries, but Venezuela controls over 80% of the summit, with Brazil and Guyana owning much smaller slivers. The highest point on the massif, a rock called the Maverick Stone, is in Venezuela, near the southwestern side of the plateau. Several kilometers northeast from this is the Triple-Country Point, a survey monument where the three nations meet.

In these days of popular adventure tourism, the ascent has become a relatively easy trek of about three to five days. There is a ramp on the southwest side of the mountain's mostly sheer cliffs that allows a non-technical route to the summit plateau, very close to the Maverick Stone. The start point for these trips is Santa Elena, Venezuela, and several tour companies arrange them, using native guides and porters.

Highlights from the top of Roraima includes the views from The Window, Maverick (highest peak), the Jazucci, underground caves, the amazon jungle, the neighbouring countries of Guyana and Brazil, and the crystal valley.

World's Most Mysterious Mountain | Unbelievable Places that Actually Exist

Mount Roraima is The World's Most Mysterious Mountain

Mount Roraima is a flat-topped mountain, typical of the Guyana Shield, with an elevation of about 1,200 meters in the southeast and only about 600 meters in the northwest. The south, southeast, east, northeast and northwest faces are all formed by straight cliffs up to about 1,000 meters high. At the southern end of the mountain, part of the cliff has collapsed, forming a spectacular natural boulder. The base of the cliff is surrounded by steep slopes to the south and east, and the north and west sides form river valleys leading to the summit.

Geography - Mount Roraima is located in the northern part of South America, the Pacarema Mountains in the eastern part of the Guyana Plateau, Brazil in the east accounting for 5% of its area, Guyana in the north accounting for 10%, and Venezuela in the south and west accounting for 85%. Access to Mount Roraima from the Venezuelan side is close to the road and relatively easy; however, for both Brazil and Guyana the area is completely isolated and can only be reached by a few days of forest hikes or small local airstrip.

Mount Roraima is a popular destination for hikers and climbers. The hike to the summit is challenging, but the views from the top are well worth it. The summit of Mount Roraima is a vast plateau with a unique ecosystem. The plateau is home to a variety of plants and animals, including many that are found nowhere else in the world.

Mount Roraima is a sacred place for the Pemon people, the original inhabitants of the area. The Pemon believe that Mount Roraima is the home of their gods. The mountain is also a popular destination for tourists. The views from the summit are breathtaking, and the hike to the top is an unforgettable experience.
