Mt Roraima, towering majestically at an impressive height, offers an otherworldly landscape unmatched by any other. Its flat, tabletop summit is surrounded by sheer cliffs, rising like a fortress above the clouds. This ancient geological formation is believed to be over two billion years old, making it one of the planet's oldest formations. The tepui (tabletop mountain) is home to a unique ecosystem, with many species found nowhere else on Earth. The trek to the top is challenging but rewards adventurers with breathtaking vistas, mystic fog, and the chance to walk amongst clouds. 💡Curiosities One of the most fascinating aspects is its role in inspiring Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's novel, 'The Lost World,' where dinosaurs and prehistoric creatures roamed. Apart from its literary significance, the mountain is a place of profound spiritual importance to the indigenous Pemon people, who consider it the stump of a mighty tree that once held all the fruits and tubers in the world.
