Mount Roraima Ultimate Guide – Trek to the Lost World, Venezuela

' src=

There is no doubt that Mount Roraima is one of the most beautiful treks in South America, and it should be part of your bucket list!

This trek is very special because it takes you to an exploration of among the world’s most intriguing landscapes – the summit of the highest tepui.

Tepuis are mountains like no other that are made of the oldest rocks on the planet. Their top is flat and they are surrounded by spectacular cliffs. The plateau at the top is an entirely isolated world, full of strange rocks, swamps, lakes and valleys, and it is really fascinating to discover.

I learned from the locals that the name “Roraima” comes from the local Pemon language. Roroi means “blue-green”, and ma means “great” – Mount Roraima is a large mountain appearing blue-green in the distance.

Its flora and fauna are for the most part endemic: they can’t be found anywhere else in the world. Sometimes, a species can even be unique to a specific tepui.

Apart from a few tepuis scattered around Guyana and Brazil that are mostly off-limits to tourists, tepuys can only be found in Venezuela . The world’s highest waterfall, Angel Falls , is also flowing from the top of a Venezuelan tepui. Given the country’s situation, it takes some preparation to travel there but it is still possible. For more information, read: Is it Safe to Travel to Venezuela? My Recent Experience .

I will share here my experience trekking Mount Roraima with tips and tricks I wish I knew before going, and some gear you should bring. After reading this article you should have a good idea of what it all looks like, and don’t miss the virtual tours!

Let’s get started.

GPS (Paraitepuy): 5°3’22.25″N, 60°56’3.90″W

GPS (Base Camp): 5°8’50.23″N, 60°46’53.57″W

How to reach: All treks start from the town of Santa Elena de Uairén, Venezuela. It can be reached by bus from Boa Vista (Brazil). Domestic flights to Santa Elena are mostly discontinued, and the nearest airport in Venezuela is now Puerto Ordaz. Arriving from anywhere in Venezuela, it is safer to use private transport.

Duration of the trek: 6 days or 8 days

Total trekking distance: 80 km / 49.7 miles (for 8 days)

Best season: The dry season runs from December to April. However, on the summit, it rains (very) regularly all year long. I did this trek in late January and had quite a lot of rain.

Can You Climb Mount Roraima and Explore the Plateau by Yourself?

I would like to evacuate a question right from the start – can you hike on Mount Roraima on your own? Well, I usually do all I can to travel on my own, but for Mount Roraima, I would not recommend doing it by yourself. It would be illegal, a guide is compulsory.

Treks to Mount Roraima are managed by the Pemon indigenous community and tourism is an important source of revenue. And honestly, treks to Mount Roraima would be quite complicated to do alone if you consider how much logistics they require.

Base Camp Dinner

A 6-day or 8-day trek means a lot of food and camping equipment to carry and we had two porters on top of the guide to carry all the stuff around.

On my way to the tepui, I briefly met with a Polish guy who was proud to say he had sneaked in and done the trek without any guide at all. He climbed to the top, explored around a tiny bit, and went back down. Well, I really don’t see the point. This guy has seen nothing of Mount Roraima.

The main purpose of this trek is to explore the top of the tepui, and don’t even think of doing that without a guide because you will inevitably get lost in the vast, rugged and inhospitable environment.

To sum up, you cannot do it alone. Doing it with a guide/agency is the only way you will be able to discover the wonders that Mount Roraima has to offer with all the needed safety, without the hassle of carrying everything and supporting the local economy.

Now that we got this question out of the way, let’s find out more about the trek!

Trekking Mount Roraima: 6 Days or 8 Days?

Mount Roraima is split between 3 countries:

The southern half of the tepui is in Venezuela, the northern half is in Guyana, and a small part in the east is in Brazil. The Triple Border “monument” marks the spot where all three borders meet, at the center of the tepui.

Mount Roraima Trek Triple Border Venezuela - Brazil - Guyana

All treks to Mount Roraima start and arrive in the village of Paraitepuy, in the middle of the Gran Sabana. The difference between a 6-day trek and an 8-day trek is how much you will explore at the top of the Roraima.

6-day treks seem to be more common and allow you to explore most of the Venezuelian part of the tepui, hike to the Triple Border and spend a night in the Brazilian part. It’s already pretty good but well, I don’t like to do things halfway and wanted to explore the summit as much as possible so I opted for the 8-day trek.

With the 8-day trek, you get to venture into the northern part of Mount Roraima, belonging to Guyana, inside the fascinating tip that is named “La Proa” – The Prow. Unfortunately, you don’t get to go to the very end of the tip because you would need to get passed some kind of canyon that is very unsafe to climb, but you do get to see the largest lake of the aera, the Lago Gladys.

It is a really beautiful region of the summit. It feels (and is) really remote and pristine. I think it’s really too bad to get all the way to the Triple Border only to just walk back and not explore further. For this reason, I obviously recommend the 8-day trek, it is well worth it!

Managing Your Weather Expectations

December to April is the dry season in the Gran Sabana. So indeed, the savanna is very dry at this time of the year and besides, fires occur all the time.

But you have to realize that the summit of Mount Roraima is a world of its own. Isolated from the rest of the world, suspended above the clouds – when not engulfed in them. Mount Roraima is a very humid place.

Going for the trek in the dry season limits the risk and you do have a real chance of having a beautiful blue sky at the top, but you also have a real chance of having rain all along.

I have experienced both situations. I started my exploration of the summit under a beautiful sun, and it was fantastic. The views over the Gran Sabana and to the nearby Kukenan tepuy are unforgettable.

Then came the time to trek into the interior of Mount Roraima. At first, there were some rain showers and the sun would come back, not a big deal. And then it happened. We were hiking in this rugged terrain under a cold, continuous rain. We were drenched, cold and tired. Yeah, that’s not fun at all.

In the next days, exploring the areas belonging to Brazil and Guyana and even later coming back towards Venezuela, we had a lot of rain. In Guyana, the viewpoint of the Prow was almost entirely blocked by the mist. On the way back to Venezuela, we had to skip two of the most beautiful viewpoints because the view was again 100% blocked.

Bad Weather on Roraima mountain's plateau

This is the reality of Mount Roraima, you can be lucky or unlucky. And going in the heart of the dry season will not necessarily save you. Luckily, we still had some sunny moments here and there for us to enjoy these incredible, sometimes very colorful landscapes. But it was generally very rainy.

Anyway, I just wanted to write this little paragraph so you can prepare yourself mentally and get in the right frame of mind so you can fully enjoy your discovery of Mount Roraima even if the sky does not cooperate much.

One last thing. I don’t know how much this information is worth but I have heard the guides say that the weather tends to be rainier at the end of a month and the beginning of the next month. So if you are flexible, you can try going in the middle of the month. Who knows!

Mount Roraima Trekking Itinerary (8-Day Trek)

Day 1  –  santa elena → paraitepuy → río kukenan camp.

  • Minivan: 90 km (56 mi), 2.30 hours
  • Hiking: 15 km (9.3 mi), 4.30 hours

This first day of the trek starts with a 2:30-hour drive from Santa Elena to the village of Paraitepuy. It is from this village that the hike starts.

In the distance, the fascinating Kukenan and Roraima tepuis dominate the horizon. They seem so close and so far at the same time! From this point on, I couldn’t take my eyes off them. They were the target, the obsession.

This first day of the trek is great to discover the scenery of the Gran Sabana (the Great Savanna), covering a large region in southeastern Venezuela.

Trek Gran Sabana

It’s a pleasant hike with no particular difficulty. You need to cross a few rivers, some of which are pure enough for you to refill your bottle with drinking water – which is not easy to come by nowadays.

VIRTUAL TOUR – Hike From Paraitepuy to Rio Kukenan Camp

First day of the trek from San Francisco de Yuruani and the village of Paraitepuy, crossing the vast landscapes of the Gran Sabana, to the Rio Kukenan Camp. (15 panoramas).

The virtual tour opens in a lightbox. Use your mouse to move around the 360° panoramas.

Towards the end of the day, we reached reach our first campsite. The first campsite can either be the Rio Tek Camp or the Rio Kukenan Camp (they are not far apart). I happened to use the Rio Kukenan Camp on the first day and the Rio Tek Camp on the way back.

Both campsites greet you with a beautiful panorama of the Kukenan and Roraima tepuis, and it is easy to find a quiet spot for you to enjoy the sunset over this unique landscape, before going back to camp to enjoy your dinner.

Day 2  –  Río Kukenan Camp → Base Camp

  • Hiking: 7.3 km (4.53 mi), 3:15-4 hours

At the end of the second day of the trek, you can almost touch Mount Roraima!

The trail crosses the savanna and slowly gains in elevation to the foot of the tepui where the Base Camp is located. From there, the unobstructed view over the Great Savanna is a most welcome reward.

But of course, you can also appreciate the impressive size of Mount Roraima’s cliffs… and wonder how the heck you will be able to climb that the next day!

Climbing Route

VIRTUAL TOUR – Hike From Rio Kukenan Camp to Base Camp

Continue your journey across the Gran Sabana to the base camp, at the foot of Mount Roraima’s spectacular wall. (6 panoramas).

Having left the Rio Kukenan Camp not long after sunrise, hikers generally reach Base Camp for lunch. The afternoon is free so you have all the time to relax, enjoy the view or explore around. Obviously, I was way too excited to relax and explored around.

Roraima Base Camp

VIRTUAL TOUR – Around The Mount Roraima Base Camp

Explore the area around the base camp, with great views over the savanna and the cliffs of Mount Roraima up close. (5 panoramas).

That night, we had a wonderful starry sky and the tepui’s walls were more or less free of clouds, so I took the chance to shoot a panorama.

It was quite challenging because it was a very dark night with no moon or artificial lights and even with a large aperture lens and a very low shutter speed, it was difficult to get a satisfying result. I had no other choice than to push the ISO, which explains why there is more noise than I would like on the panorama below.

Starry sky at the foot of Mount Roraima. (1 panorama).

Day 3  –  Base Camp → “Hotel Indio” Camp (Mount Roraima Summit)

  • Hiking: 3.2 km (2 mi), 4 hours

Finally! This day is the day when you get to climb the vertical wall of the tepui and lay eyes on the bizarre landscape at the top for the first time.

Don’t worry, there is no rock climbing involved. You actually follow a path that climbs along the cliff, all the way to the top. I have to say though, that the path is at times very steep, particularly the first part before reaching the cliff itself. You can see it by yourself in the virtual tour below.

VIRTUAL TOUR – Hike From Base Camp to The Summit of Mount Roraima

Climb the steep slope and follow the ridge on Mount Roraima’s cliff, all the way to the top (12 panoramas).

Along the cliff, the path is clean and relatively easy to follow; and it is interesting to see the vegetation change as you are climbing.

At first, you cross a lush palm tree forest, and you are so close to the cliff that you can touch it. Later, closer to the top, the path gets really rocky and quite steep, and you begin to see the typical flora and fauna of the tepuis such as the Roraima black frog .

Roraima Black Frog

Once at the top, you are immediately immersed in the strange world of Mount Roraima. Camps on the summit of the tepui are nicknamed “hotels”, they are located under overhang rocks or in caves, where you can hope to stay dry even if it rains. The camp I used is called Hotel Indio.

VIRTUAL TOUR – The “Hotel” Indio Camp

Discover the first campsite on top of Mount Roraima. (2 panoramas).

You get a whole afternoon to immerse yourself in the amazing scenery around camp, made of bizarre rock formations, small lakes and lagoons, and untouched swampy patches of delicate vegetation that look like mini Japanese gardens.

It’s a real delight for anyone who has ever dreamed of being an explorer!

Tepui Summit

VIRTUAL TOUR – Exploring Around Camp

First exploration of the unique landscapes on the top of Mount Roraima. (8 panoramas).

In the evening, for sunset, our guide took us to a huge rock called Maverick Rock (not far from camp), which is no less than the highest point on Mount Roraima – itself the world’s highest tepui. The view of the Gran Sabana below is unforgettable.

VIRTUAL TOUR – Maverick Rock, Highest Point on Mount Roraima, and All Tepuis

Climb to the highest point on Mount Roraima, the highest of all tepuis. (3 panoramas).

Day 4  –  “Hotel” Indio Camp → Coati Cave Camp (Brazil)

  • Hiking: 10 km (6.25 mi), 5 hours

On the 4th day of the trek, you really start exploring the interior of the plateau at the top of the tepui. But before leaving, look at this fantastic sunrise, over a sea of clouds, far from the world.

Sunrise from camp

VIRTUAL TOUR – Sunrise on Mount Roraima

Wonderful sunrise from the heights of Mount Roraima, near the “Hotel” Indio Camp. (1 panorama).

It is now time to hike to the center of Mount Roraima – the Triple Point, where the Venezuela, Brazil, and Guyana borders meet.

En route, you will be able to really gauge the immensity of the tepui, crossing rivers and valleys, and walking past rocks with the most unimaginable shapes. Sometimes, you will see boulders weighing several tons precariously stacked on top of each other, wondering how on earth it is possible that the whole thing is not crashing to the ground.

Strange Rocks

VIRTUAL TOUR – Hike From Indio Camp to The Triple Point

Start trekking into the summit of Mount Roraima, to La Fosa (The Pit) and the Triple Border (Venezuela/Brazil/Guyana). (9 panoramas).

Today’s campsite is really cool. The Gruta do Coati (Coati Cave) is named after an elusive mammal that roams around the summit of Mount Roraima, which looks like a long-nosed raccoon. I spotted one during my trek for a couple of seconds as it was running away. They are pretty hard to spot.

But let’s get back to that cave. It’s actually a cave and a huge crack in a rock formation, with plenty of space to pitch the tents and have a proper kitchen corner. The cave is located in the Brazilian part of Mount Roraima.

VIRTUAL TOUR – Gruta do Coati (Brazil)

Discover the amazing Coati Cave on the Brazilian side of Mount Roraima, that we used as a second camp on the tepui. (5 panoramas).

An easy 10-minute walk from the cave is enough to reach the edge of the tepui, where a stunning view is awaiting you. Right in front of you, the small Wei-Assipu tepui towers above sprawling rainforests. Turn your head to the right, and you can spot the Venezuelan savannas in the distance.

VIRTUAL TOUR – Viewpoint to Tepui Wei-Assipu (Brazil)

Not far from the Coati Cave, enjoy the view of the small Wei-Assipu tepui in Brazil, often nicknamed “Little Roraima”. (1 panorama).

Day 5  –  Hike to Lago Gladys & La Proa (Guyana) – Tip of  the Roraima Tepui

  • Hiking: 4.4 km (2.7 mi), 2 hours each way

At this point, those on the 6-day trek will already head back to the Venezuelan side and prepare to hike back down. But since I was on the 8-day trek, I had the opportunity to discover the Guyanese part of the tepui.

This part is a little more off the beaten track, and I can’t explain why but it felt so. I feel that this hike is one of the most beautiful and memorable of the whole trek.

The landscape is marked by an abundance of Bonnetia shrubs and their bright orange leaves, making the landscape more colorful than in other areas – particularly when the sun is shining.

Roraima Bonnetia Plant

For a part of this hike, you follow a river that is one of the sources of the powerful Essequibo River, the main river of Guyana and one of the largest rivers in South America. Quite amazing to think about that, while looking at this pretty little stream of crystal-clear water here at the top of Mount Roraima.

VIRTUAL TOUR – Hike From Coati Cave to Lago Gladys & La Proa (Guyana)

Venture deep into the northern region of Mount Roraima, belonging to Guyana. Explore all the way to Lake Gladys and almost to the tip of La Proa (The Prow), following a colorful valley. (17 panoramas).

Near the northern end of the tepui, Lake Gladys suddenly appears among the clouds.  It is larger than I had expected, at the bottom of a large depression. So you can’t actually touch it, you can just look at it from above.

The landscape around the lake is very rocky and very empty; it feels inhospitable and fascinating at the same time. You can take a look by yourself with the virtual tour above.

Day 6  –  Coati Cave (Brazil) → “Hotel” Uno Camp (back to Venezuela)

  • Hiking: 10 km (6.3 mi), 5 hours

Our exploration of the Brazilian and Guyanese parts of the tepui is over and it is now time to get back to the Venezuelan side, taking a different path.

A major landmark that you discover during this hike is the Valley of Crystals. I had heard of this place before the trek and I wasn’t sure what I would find. Well, the pretty pink sand on the ground gives way to an incredible accumulation of crystals.

Mount Roraima Valley of Crystals

Sadly, I had to discover this natural wonder under the rain, but it was still pretty astonishing. After all, it’s not every day you can say “Hey buddy, I have walked on a carpet of crystals today!”

VIRTUAL TOUR – Hike to the Valley of Crystals & Back to the Venezuelan Side

Leave the Coati Cave and trek back south to the Venezuelan side of Mount Roraima, passing through the mythical Valley of Crystals (8 panoramas).

Back to the same area where we arrived at the top of the tepui on the third day of the trek, I got to camp in another spot called Hotel Uno.

Day 7  –  “Hotel” Uno Camp → Río Tek Camp (Back Down)

  • Hiking: 12.4 km (7.7 mi), 5:30-6 hours

In the morning, we took an easy 30-40 min walk to a place nicknamed Los Jacuzzis: deep lagoons of crystal-clear – and freezing-cold water where the brave can bathe. On the way there, we crossed a surprising area consisting of a vast expanse of pink sand: el Campo de Golf (the Golf Course).

We were also supposed to stop at two spectacular viewpoints but with this weather… there was no point to go because the view would have been all blocked anyway. Too bad.

VIRTUAL TOUR – Hike to the Campo de Golf & Los Jaccuzis

On the Venezuelan side, go visit the pink sands of the Campo de Golf (the Golf Course) and the deep and clear waters of Los Jacuzzis, before trekking back down the tepui (2 panoramas).

Unfortunately, all good things come to an end! So it was time to walk back down, Sad to leave but happy to have had the privilege to be there.

Being slightly annoyed by the rain and the cold couldn’t erase the feeling of wishing I could have stayed and explored more of this incredible mountain.

It was so rainy at the top of the tepui that on the way down, giant waterfalls were flowing from the edge of the cliffs, making us more drenched than we already were. Once back at the Base Camp, we had our lunch snack and kept going until we reached the Rio Tek Camp where we all spent the night.

Day 8  –  Río Tek Camp → Paraitepuy → Santa Elena

  • Hiking: 13.2 km (8.2 mi), 5 hours
  • Minivan: 2 hours + Lunch Break

As soon as I opened my tent in the morning, the majestic Kukenan tepui was there to greet me and remind me how lucky I was to discover this part of the world.

Rio Tek Camp

This last day is not very hard. After a good breakfast, you just walk back to what you walked on the first day. It is the opportunity to enjoy one last time being immersed in the vast scenery of the Gran Sabana.

After reaching Paraitepuy, a pick-up from the agency was there to take everyone for a delicious grilled chicken lunch in the village of San Francisco de Yuruani, located on the main road that led us back to Santa Elena.

And it was the end of this fabulous adventure!

What to Bring and Wear for The Trek to Mount Roraima

Hiking on Mount Roraima is not really a walk in the park. Taking the right gear and wearing the right clothes will dramatically improve your experience!

Let’s start with some basic gear that you should pack for your trek.

  • The first one is pretty obvious, make sure you have a strong hiking backpack . I recommend a medium size like 50 liters. It needs to be large enough to carry your warm clothes, which often take up a lot of space.
  • You can probably do without it but it may be convenient to also bring a small backpack to put your camera and water bottle in when you go for a hike on the summit and go back to the same campsite. You can carry it around in your larger backpack and just take it out when you need it.
  • All along the trek you will be camping. Camping gear such as tents, sleeping bags, cooking gear… will be provided by your travel agency but one thing you should not forget to bring is a reliable headlamp .
  • If you are into that, it could be a good idea to take a handheld GPS device to track your itinerary, especially on top of the tepui. This way, when you get back home, you’ll be able to see what parts of the tepui you have explored!

What you wear during the trek is also extremely important. The weather on Mount Roraima is often challenging and the terrain is rugged, rocky, and swampy.

  • The first thing you need is good waterproof hiking shoes . I recommend hiking boots rather than simple hiking shoes, to be sure your ankles are well-supported and protected.
  • Another thing that was a real lifesaver for me is a rain poncho . If you are unlucky enough to have as much rain as I did, I would rely on a rain poncho rather than a normal rain jacket alone. A poncho can also keep your backpack dry.
  • I recommend taking a good fleece jacket to keep you warm . It can get very chilly at the top, and the feeling is worse with the high humidity.
  • Take 2 or 3 hiking pants (especially if you go for the 8-day trek), in case you get caught in the rain
  • Don’t hesitate to take extra socks and T-shirts to make sure you will always be able to change for a dry one in case you get wet.

This gives you a few ideas of useful things to bring on your Roraima trek in order to fully enjoy the experience no matter what weather you get.

Virtual Tour Map

Unfortunately, there is a shift in the Google Maps images of Mount Roraima and the position of some marks doesn’t coincide with the real position on the image. But it still gives you a good idea of the itinerary of this trek, both on the Great Savanna and at the top of the tepui.

Those Bonnteia shrubs are gorgeous! I wonder if they would grow in my part of the U.S.

They are! But they are so adapted to Mount Roraima that I doubt they would grow anywhere else 🙂

Julien, thank you very much for your detailed work! I found a lot of useful information about Venezuela and will go there next year.

Thank you for your 360 panorama pics!

All the best

Thanks Alex, I am glad the article was useful to you!

Hey – am hoping to trek Mount Roraima and was hoping that you might be able to organize the venture.

I believe I can get to Boa Vista/Santa Elana by 07 March 2023 and would be ready to start the trek immediately thereafter if it works for you. Assuming this is feasible, could you define the costs for the trek?

Thomas Saskatoon, Canada

Hi Thomas, I am sorry but I am not a tour operator! If you want to have the same experience as me, I recommend a local agency called Nativa Tours Khasen, they are located in Santa Elena and also offer accommodation. I organized everything with them and it was all perfect.

Thanks very much Julien. Will try connect with Nativa Tours Khasen. Regards, Thomas

' src=

Hey Tom, I’m looking to do the same but 1 month after you, did you managed to find a tour? Do you have a price range for the 8 days?

' src=

I’m looking at 2024 or even later for a Roraima trip, but it’s still a life dream of mine, so I’ll eagerly follow these threads and any advice or reports that people can give me. Especially the names and contact info for guides/companies! Also advice on how best to get to the “starting line”–from Brazil and Manaus? Thanks, Jeff

For a trip to Mount Roraima the most convenient (and probably the safest, but check the official recommendations) is to arrive from Brazil as I did. Once in Santa Elena de Uairen, you can either choose the tour operator I recommended in a previous comment, or another one (most probably just as good and reliable as the one I chose). Getting to Santa Elena from Caracas would be more complicated in my opinion. If you do the Manaus-Boa Vista route, you can just take a night bus, they are comfortable.

What is the latest on getting into Venezuela (I’m a US citizen). I’ve heard it’s very difficult or impossible, at least for Americans?

You need to check on your Embassy website but I think the issue would be to fly to Venezuela, which you can avoid by flying to Boa Vista in North of Manaus. From there there are bus going to the border town and you can take a cab to Santa Elena (city in Venezuala) where all the tours are. Manaus is a long way from Boa Vista, you either fly there or you take the night bus which is rougly 11 hours.

Julien, do you remember how much you gave for the tips? Just trying to give a decent amount, I heard there are people carrying food, toilet etc and the guide to give tips.

Hi Gwen, sorry for the super late reply! Indeed on the Roraima trek, you have one main guide and porters who carry all the camping and cooking gear and cook for you. If I remember correctly, 20 USD were given to the porters, probably a little more to the main guide. We were 3 people on the trek, and I remember giving $20 to the porter I felt the closest to, and the two other people gave to the other porter and the main guide. I don’t quite remember how we came to agree on this amount but it felt appropriate at the time. Hope it helps!

' src=

Thanks for your guide tour. After reading your experience to Mount Roraima, I have learned a lot about it. But I don’t know the budget for this trip. If I just decide to choose the 8-day trek (same as you)and back home after the trip at once, how much dollars it could be?

Hi Jeff, glad you found the article useful! For the trek I was quoted 300 USD for 6 days and 400 USD for 8 days (minimum 4 persons – but this seems flexible because we were only 3 and still went ahead with the trek). I can’t guarantee the prices are still exactly the same but it gives you an idea. In any case, the extra $100 for 8 days is very very much worth it! Don’t hesitate if you have any other questions.

Venezuelan is in a sweet spot now its starting to re open, so before the big travel agencies spot it the lesses known ones all over it, as many solo people have done it recently. Key question which local agencies are around and how to do the tour to the table top. Any names, websites?

Hi Desmond, as I said in one of my comments above, I did this trek with a local agency called Nativa Tours Khasen, located in Santa Elena. Everything was well organized and I was happy with the service. Search their name on Google and you should find them 🙂

6 days trekking trip: Mount Roraima

Roraima is one of the best trekking trips in Latin America. The trek crosses savannah, rivers and thick cloud forest. It offers stunning views and the opportunity to explore a unique eco-system on the top of the Roraima table mountain, a height of 2,700 m. It requires a medium to high level of fitness to complete the 6-day trek, with a hike of 4 to 8 hours per day. We recommend that you carry no more than 10 kgs of personal baggage and leave any additional equipment in your accommodation in Santa Elena . At night you will sleep in tents – including 1 night on the mountaintop – and local Pemón and Guyanese guides will prepare your food on site each day. The trek begins at 8am in Santa Elena de Uairén and ends there 6 days later at about 6pm.

Daily Itinerary

Day 1: santa elena - pareitepui - tek camp.

You leave Santa Elena around 8am for the 2-3 hour journey by jeep to the Pemón village of Pareitepuy, where visitors register with the National Park authorities and where the porters pick up the equipment. After a light lunch, you start the 4-5 hour trek across open savanna, eventually arriving at the Tek Camp where you will spend the night in tents.

Day 2: Tek Camp - Savanna - Base Camp

After breakfast you set off for another 6 hour hike. Today you cross the Tek and Kukenan rivers, which can be quite a challenging experience if there has been heavy rainfall. Passing by fields of orchids, in the early afternoon you stop for lunch at the Military Camp. Then the trail climbs for a few hours, taking you to the base camp at a height of 1,800 m near the foot of Mount Roraima, where you spend the second night.

Day 3: Base Camp - “La Rampa” - Plateau

This is the most difficult day’s hiking. After breakfast there is a steep trek for a couple of hours through lush, beautiful cloud forest to the wall of the mountain, marked by a slope of huge boulders and a waterfall. The trail rises along this natural stone ramp that runs from right to left through the jungle and up the side of the cliff face, the only accessible route to the summit, which takes about 90 minutes. After a light lunch you can begin to explore, and enjoy the tremendous views across the Gran Sabana from a height of 2,700 m. On this night you sleep on the top of Mount Roraima, sheltered by a natural rock overhang known as “Los Hoteles”.

Day 4: Plateau - Summit - Crystal Valley - Triple Point

The plateau of Mount Roraima is around 70 square kms and offers bizarre rock formations, flesh-eating plants and black frogs that are unique to this eco-system.

  • 6-night Mt. Roraima Trek

Mt. Roraima Trek

Mt. roraima trekking expedition includes two nights spent on the summit with one full day exploring with your guide for 7d/6n starting at $653 per person.

  • Detailed Itinerary

The Roraima Trek is one of the highlights of Venezuela and all of South America.

Mount Roraima, a tabletop mountain locally known as a tepui, is located on the Guiana Shield in the southeastern corner of Venezuela and is the highest of the Venezuela tepuis at 2,600 meters (8,530 feet).

During the climb and while on top you will discover bizarre rock formations, amazing landscapes and unique flora and fauna.

Venezuela Mount Roraima Trek

The isolation of the tepuis has led to the existence of endemic plant species with two species found only on Roraima. Tepuis are also home to unique species of fauna, such as the Roraima Bush Toad, found only on Roraima. The private trek can be modified with additional days/nights on the summit.

*Included with the trekking price: English-speaking trekking guide, tents and kitchen/cooking equipment, porters for expedition equipment, 1 night Santa Elena hotel (night 6), excursions and meals as specified on the itinerary. Personal porters, sleeping bag and pad not included but can be arranged locally in advance.

Depending on current airline schedules it may be necessary to transfer overland from Puerto Ordaz or Ciudad Bolivar (along a very scenic route) or charter a flight to Santa Elena. For this reason the hotel night prior to the trek is not included.

Mount Roraima - Adventure in Venezuela

No Longer Lost, but Still a Fantastic World

If you're heading to Venezuela , you cannot miss the amazing adventure of hiking Mount Roraima in Canaima National Park . Arthur Conan Doyle populated the tepui Roraima with dinosaurs, strange vegetation and animals in his book, The Lost World , based on the accounts of British explorers Everard IM Thum and Harry Perkins who were the first Europeans to ascend Mount Roraima in 1884.

Subsequent explorations and modern-day climbers and trekkers find no dinosaurs, fossils or traces of prehistoric life on the top of the tepui, but they do find a fantastic world of crystal valleys, gorges, sandy beaches, mists and fog, fissures, rock formations, pools, and waterfalls. Mount Roraima is the tallest of the table mountains called tepuis and is located in the southeastern corner of Canaima National Park, near the borders of Brazil and Guyana.

This is the land of tropical savannahs, cloud forests, tepuis, rivers, and waterfalls. Roraima is one of the most recommended climbs in South America, and most people allow eight days for the trip. However, this allows only one day on the top of the tepui, which isn't enough time to properly explore all the nooks and crannies. Unfortunately, backpackers are limited by what they can carry.

Getting There 

There are no direct flights from Caracas or other large cities to the closest town with an airport, the border town of Santa Elena de Uairén. Many visitors fly to Ciudad Bolivar and take a smaller aircraft there. Some come in from Brazil.

Check flights from your area to Caracas and Ciudad Bolivar. You can also browse for hotels and car rentals.

The border with Guyana is closed due to a territorial dispute.

From Santa Elena, it's about a two-hour drive to the small Indian village of Parai Tepui, or Paraitepui, where you'll pay an entrance fee to climb the tepui, arrange for guides and porters (who are limited to 15 k), if not already provided by a tour agency. You can also arrange for a guide and porters in San Francisco de Yuruaní, about 69 km north of Santa Elena on the main road. If you're on your own, arrange for transportation back to Santa Elena at this time.

Plan to be in Paraitepui before noon since no one is allowed to leave after two PM, as it's at least a five-hour trek across the sabana to the first campsite. You can camp overnight in Paraitepui, but buy all your food in Santa Elena.

It's about a 12 hour trip to the top of the tepui. The trip is broken by an overnight camp either along the Río Tek or the Río Kukenan, 4 1/2 hours from Paraitepui. If you have enough time, you can also push another three hours uphill to the base camp.

The next day is the four (or more) hour climb up the ramp, through cloud forest, waterfalls and rock formations to reach the top of the tepui. You'll camp in one of the sandy areas called hoteles protected from the weather by rocky overhangs. Everything you take up, you must bring down, including used toilet paper. However, you may take no souvenirs from the tepui.

If you have only a day, you can take many of the trails leading from the camps, but to properly explore the black, craggy surface of the tepui, you should allow yourself at least an extra day. Your guide will lead you to the Valle de Los Cristales to see the colorful crystals; through gorges and fissures looking like alien worlds; to pools called jacuzzis , but don't expect hot water. You'll see strange plants, birds, and animals, even a tiny black frog that protects itself by curling up into a ball. You can hike across the tepui to

The descent from tepui Roraima takes about ten hours to reach Paraitepui.

An alternate way to see tepui Roraima is by helicopter, allowing two-three days on the summit.

When to Go to Mount Roraima

You can climb Mount Roraima any time of the year, but most people prefer the dry season between December and April. However, the weather is changeable at any time, and rain and mist are a constant. With rain, the rivers swell and crossing may be difficult.

What to Take to Mount Roramina

Be prepared for hot, steamy days and cold nights on the top of the tepui. You'll want reliable rain gear, tent, and sleeping bag, if not provided by your tour company. A foam mat adds comfort. Additionally, you'll need good walking shoes or boots, sneakers, a bathing suit, sun protection/sun blocker, hat, knife, water bottle, and a flashlight.

A camera and plenty of film is a must, as is a cooking stove and food. If you're on your own, take more food than you'll need in case you want to spend an extra day on the tepui. Take plastic bags to carry your garbage out. Take a big supply of good insect repellant. The Sabana is home to a biting gnat, jején . commonly referred to as la plaga , the plague.

Mount Roraima  is one of the best trekking trips in Latin America. The trek crosses savannah, rivers and thick cloud forest. It offers stunning views and the opportunity to explore a unique eco-system on the top. Roraima is the highest tepui in Canaima National Park. Its height is about 2,800 meters, it covers an area of 15 km long and its surface is 200 km2. Its walls, completely vertical, may reach 500 meters high.

It is also known as Blue Mountain or Crystal Mountain, and is considered by the local indigenous population as a divinity. The Pemon believe that most tepuis host powerful spirits or entities to which they respect and fear. Among the attractions are the Valley of the Crystals, the Jacuzzi area, the viewpoints of La Ventana and El Abismo, the North Mazes, la Proa, Lake Gladys, and the Triple Point. This point is in the northeast of the tepui, and is the place where it meets the border between Brazil, Venezuela and Guyana.

  • bhreinb 0 contributions 3.0 of 5 bubbles Just Ok I booked this trip based on the TripAdvisor reviews. I was sceptical about booking with this company but as they don't charge a single supplement I took a chance with them. With hindsight I probably would have booked with another company. So the good points Pedra da Gávea is probably the best hike to do in Rio. Rabbling down the rock was great fun and the quality of the photos taken by the guide (Lucas) was super. It is a challenging hike but very manageable too, albeit a good level of fitness is required. Their are other companies that do all of the above too fyi. I booked an English speaking tour. As their was only two booked on the English tour we were algimated with the Spanish speaking tour so the tour essentially became a Spanish speaking tour. The company has "form" in doing such a thing from reading other reviews here. The guide didn't have a good level of English in my opinion so other people on the tour had to translate to English. Given their is a bit of technical climbing involved I was a bit uncomfortable by that if a problem was to arise. That said I really did enjoy the trek primarily because Pedra da Gávea is so good but the company didn't add a whole lot to the experience imho. Read more Written November 6, 2023

  • _B7310IC 0 contributions 4.0 of 5 bubbles travelling rio by yourself Pantanal - Rodrigo and santa clara lodge - insights and operative notes 1. We arrived in Brazil in August and after the Amazon-experince I went to the Pantanal with my two kids. After wandering around the internet and looking for a contact person who would organize the stay there, I contacted Rodrigo (silva?) whose number was mentioned by several travelers on several websites on the net. 2. In her first contact with him, the price he demanded for three nights and four days was 3100 r per person. I had an idea about costs from the vacation in the Amazon . The price seemed expensive and I found out that only five years ago another traveler paid Rodrigo less than a third (1100 riyals (!!)) for the exact same thing. Following this, I contacted Rodrigo from another phone number stating what I saw and the new price was set at 1950 Real (in a shared room) per person. Later i I saw that another tourist published a post according to which he paid only 1350 Rials several months before. 3. I agreed with Rodrigo that I would pay in dollars according to the official exchange rate. When time to pay arrived and I paid in dollars - his representative refused to return the excess and Rodrigo explained that he should get it for the conversion even though it was agreed otherwise, clearly. 4. After being picked up from the place where we slept - the trip from Campo Grande was on a good road and lasted between 10:00-14:30 approximately in a public transportation with a food-toilet break. Rodrigo collected the full price before the trip, through the person who sent to pick us up. 5. We were driven to the Santa Clara Lodge and Rodrigo promised that when we arrive in the afternoon we would get Lunch and go out for activity. In practice, when we arrived, it turned out that no meal was served because lunch is only served until 1:00 PM and we arrived a few hours later. After an hour of waiting for the lunch we were supposed to receive - we lost patience and they made us a sandwich with meat even though we said in advance that we were vegetarians. When we refused to eat it - we got instead a sandwich with lettuce and tomato only... the one who "took care" of it was the local guide named Tony - a lazy man who lost his patience without hiding his impatience, when we explained him what Rodrigo promised about food and activity. When I asked about the activity we were supposed to do that day (after all, it was the first day of activity out of four) I was told that there was going to be no activity. When I approached Rodrigo about it - he ignored it. Then it became clear how the method works: Rodrigo directs those who contact him and "hire his services" to this place, which it is highly doubtful if he has ever visited, and from that second he evaporates: the guide is not on Rodrigo's behalf at all, but the permanent guide of the place, who also lives nearby .The place, alone, is the one that decides what will happen and when with the traveler, without anything to do with Rodrigo. 6. Unfortunately, beyond the fact that the guide was lazy and impatient (but also nice, intermittently) - his English was broken. It was very difficult to understand the guide's words in English and even when we did - some of the 'explanations' indicated a complete lack of knowledge. 7. The food at Santa Clara was the only bright spot. Both cooks did a good job. 9. In the evening the guide said that the next day we will fish piranhas between 07:30-10:30 and the next activity will only be around 15:30. I explained him that according to.my fishing experience in amazonas it would last no more than 45-60 minutes so I asked him to organize another activity, but he ignored. In the morning we walked 15 minutes to the river bank, he handed out fishing rods and cut sausages as bait and went to sit in the shade. Some managed to fish and some didn't and after about 45 minutes the experience was over and we went back to the lodge to do nothing until the afternoon. A complete waste of time. 10. In the afternoon we went on a "jungle walk". The guide simply led us through the fields to see many cows grazing there and walked along a path next to a fence not going into the woods. the guide, as usual, chose the easy way. When I asked why we walk along the fence and not in the vegetation, he said that it is forbidden to cross the fence. When I told him that we came for a walk in the jungle and watching cows doesn't look like that, he changed his mind, we crossed the fence and entered several clumps of vegetation and a muddy area and the feeling was that this was the first time he had done this...we didn't see too much but at least we walked among local vegetation.. . In the evening I sent a message to Rodrigo about the huge gap between what was promised and what was received. He didn't respond, obviously because he had no control over it. 11. The next day was our last full day. In the morning we went on a "safari trip". Together with other travelers we boarded a safari truck and were driven on the main road that connects the farms to a point where we were asked to get off. From there the guide led a walk to nowhere. In the first minute we saw monkeys and from there until the end of the walk we walked in an environment of plants, without seeing any animal and without getting close to the water that was near us where the animals live. At a certain point, when daughter asked the guide what about animals, he replied that he did not promise to see them (which is true) and that because of a fire that happened several years ago - there are not really any animals in the area... but there was no sign of a fire around us and everything was green...after an hour of lazy walking we were driven back. 12. In the afternoon we went on the only tour that was worth anything - it is a boat ride (finally) on the very nearby river. On the cruise, we saw monkeys in the treetops, capybaras and alligators and many birds. We returned in the dark while lighting crocodiles in the water. 13. The next day we went "horse riding" which was supposed to last two and a half hours. In practice, the lazy guide led us on the dirt path where we arrived two days before by car and in the field next to it and an hour later we returned. A complete waste of time. 14. Because we had a flight back from Campo Grande in the afternoon we needed a private return transportation. In the clarification I made in advance with Rodrigo it was agreed that it would cost 225 r per person one way. When I arrived at the lodge I asked the local guide several times to ask Rodrigo to arrange it but he, of course, did not. When I contacted Rodrigo directly he mentioned that it I have to pay for it and I confirmed it. At this point he said it would cost us 1400 r. I reminded him that in the email he wrote me something else. There was an exchange of WhatsApp messages in which I also sent him a photo of the email he sent me with the amount he indicated. He continued to argue. I finally called him. This time he claimed that the 1400 is a special price because the return trip should cost 2400 r per person and that's what he wrote to me in that email!! I showed him, clearly, that 2400 riyals was the price he demanded for the entire vacation including private round trip transportation!! In the end he 'gave up' and demanded that the three of us pay 700 r. We paid directly to the driver who drove us and were happy to end the bad experience in the Pantanal. 15. In practice, there are quite a few farms along the river. I guess some organize similar things. I am attaching photos with details of some of them and of the nearby Santa Catarina Hotel which is accessible online and probably organizes a similar activity. 15. In conclusion, the organization of the trip by Rodrigo reflected a complete disdain for the travelers and a complete exploitation of them from a position of power, since the travelers have nothing to do once they arrive in the area. Anyone who wants to enjoy a visit to the Pantanal should avoid contacting Rodrigo, and look for someone else who will organize it for him. Read more Written August 26, 2023
  • MooshLA 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Well worth the steep hiking! The views are incredible and perhaps the best in Rio! The summary: Well worth the roughly 45 minute hike up a steep hill. The details: You'll likely get dropped off at the entrance gate of a very steep and long paved driveway however there are some private cars that park along the entrance asking if you want a drive up the steep driveway for $R5 or so. It may actually be worth it as that hike up could be pretty intense as it's quite steep. Once you arrive at the little cafe, you'll see the actual trail entrance. This is for people that can handle a fairly intense incline for a long period of time - at least 40 minutes of pretty steep and often slippery pathways. The first section you'll feel deep inside a rainforest hence the slippery traction. WEAR MOSQUITO SPRAY otherwise you will for sure get bitten a lot. Once you reach the top, you'll be blessed with perhaps the best view in Rio. The views even extend past Barra Tijuca. Absolutely gorgeous, stunning and well worth it. PRO TIP: Either plan to take the public bus that seems to frequently stop outside on the main road or call your Uber once you are at the cafe on your return. Celluar/data reception is available ironically only at the very top and at the cafe. Once you walk down the driveway, you'll be out of signal until you walk on the highway road back down the hill for at least 1.5 miles. It's a windy road and the vehicles come whipping around. In our case, we waiting until we were on the road to call Uber and then had zero luck. The cars canceled one right after the other and cellular reception would come and go. Thankfully a city bus passed by and the friendly driver allowed us on even though we had no cash on us. Read more Written July 5, 2023

Excellent location with a view across the bay to Bamburgh Castle. Good sandy beach with rock-pooling benefit!. Bamburgh itself is very pretty with a good choice of tea shops. If we had any moan at all it's that we don't like foam (plastic) mattresses or manmade duvets and pillows, as human skin overheats making for difficult sleep. We always take our own pillow and duvet so all was well. Happy to recommend without hesitation. Read more Written June 6, 2023

Roraima 6 D / 5 N

Descripción general.

Day 1 You leave Santa Elena in the morning and drive two hours to the last Indian village Paraytepui. From here the trek starts into the lost world. On this first day you will walk about 5 hours to the campground at the Kukenan River. You will cross two rivers to reach it. The Kukenan River grows after rainfall to a respectful stream. The guides will put a long rope over the river and help you in your first adventure. The lunch will be on the way and the supper at the campsite. Day 2 After breakfast starts a five hour walk to the base camp. You will cross the smooth hills in the savannah. In total you have to walk uphill for two hours. You will see orchids and carnivores. Lunch will be ready at the base camp. Here starts the jungle and you should use the late afternoon light to find some attractive shots for your camera. Day 3 After breakfast comes a 2 hour steep hike in the jungle. You will be exhausted but also amazed by the beautiful bromeliads, ferns and other plants. Finally you can touch the wall of the Roraima Mountain and a small waterfall will bring you much needed refreshment! It takes another hour or 90 minutes through jungle and over stones to reach the top of the mountain. Stones looking like sea turtle or dragonheads welcome you at the top. Lunch will be at the camp and the afternoon is for discovering the closer area around the camp. Day 4 The whole day is for discovering the top of the Roraima. Feel the magic from the mountain. You will see thousand faces in the bizarre stone formations, some remind you of lizards or Fidel Castro, others are like fantasy creatures or fairy tale witches. See the valley of crystals and enjoy the fantastic view to the valley. Feel the mystery when the fog comes up the mountain. Don't be surprised when you feel like you're walking on the moon. Lunch will be on the way and supper at the camp. Day 5 In the morning you'll have a last chance to take some pictures before you walk down the mountain again to the campsite at Rio Tek. You have to cross the two rivers from the first day again. Lunch is on the way and at the camp you can enjoy a great swim in the river with a fabulous view to the Kukenen and Roraima mountains. The supper is at the camp. Day 6 After the last four hours you will reach the Indian village Paraytepui. Watch out!! Every tourist gets searched by the park rangers for crystals. The crystals are a lot more beautiful on the top of Roraima then in your apartment at home!! The cars would be waiting already with cold drinks and great sandwiches for you. After lunch you will return to Santa Elena with a stop over at the Jaspe fall if the group wants to. End of the services.

Mount Roraima Trekking Tour

flying-over-kaieteur-falls-guyana

This tour combines a Kaieteur Falls trek with a hike to Mount Roraima.

We start with a three day trek through pristine rainforest and abundant wildlife of undiscovered Guyana.

Next, we spend six more days hiking the savannah-like plateaus of Mount Roraima, along its incredible Tepuy table top mountains.

Kaiteur Falls is tallest single drop waterfall in the world, and situated in the heart of Guyana.

It supports a unique micro environment with large Tank bromeliads, in which the tiny Golden frog spends its entire life and the rarely seen bright orange Cock- of-the-rock nesting close by.

More on Mount Roraima and Kaieteur Falls tour

Next, to Venezuela. The Sabana is a grassy savannah-like plateau, replete with natural wonders such as waterfalls, rapids and tropical rainforest; the plentiful wildlife makes this a naturalist and birdwatcher’s paradise.

Above the Sabana loom the Tepuys, or “Table Mountains”. Mount Roraima is the most famous. The tepuys’ lunar-like surface is home to many plants and animals found nowhere else on earth.

Mount Roraima is one of the most acclaimed sights in South America.

For hundreds of years the mile high flat-topped mountain inspired travellers – tales abounded concerning the mysterious, inacessible summit above the clouds.

Trip Highlights

Hike through pristine rainforest to the Kaieteur Falls.

Trek the savannahs of Roraima and visit the famous table top Tepuy mountains.

Visit contrasting eco-systems in remote parts of the world.

See unique animals and vegetation of Mount Roraima.

After the excitement of seeing a giant anteater with baby, I thought the trip couldn't get any better until we saw a jaguar close up on the riverbank!

Full Itinerary

Day 1: arrive in guyana, transfer into georgetown, cara lodge.

Arrive in Guyana and transfer to Georgetown.

Overnight at Cara Lodge, a 150-year-old heritage building which has been converted into a beautiful small hotel.

Day 2: City tour, Cara Lodge (B)

Georgetown the chief port, capital and largest city of Guyana is situated on the right Bank of the Demerara River Estuary.

It was chosen as a site for a fort to guard the early Dutch settlements of the Demerara River. The city of Georgetown was designed largely by the Dutch and is laid out in a rectangular pattern with wide tree lined avenues and irrigation canals that criss cross the city.

Most of the buildings in the city are wooden with unique architecture dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries.

During your visit to Georgetown there are a number of interesting sights that should not be missed: the most famous being St. George’s Cathedral. The Cathedral is one of the world’s tallest free standing wooden buildings and was consecrated on 1892. The foundation stone was laid on November 23, 1890 and the building was designed by Sir Arthur Bloomfield. The story of the cathedral is told on the interior on tablets and memorials of a historical and sentimental nature: it is the tale of the history of Guyana in general and of the Diocese in particular.

At the beginning of the Avenue of the Republic stands the Public Library housed in the Carnegie Building. Other historic buildings along this promenade are the Town Hall, a splendid example of Gothic architecture, and further along are the Victoria Law Courts and St. Andrews Kirk. St. Andrew’s is the oldest surviving structure of any church in Guyana.

The famous Stabroek Market, once described as a “bizarre bazaar”, contains every conceivable item from house hold goods and gold jewellery to fresh meat and vegetables brought to town on the river daily. The clock tower can be seen for miles around and is a famous landmark.

No trip to Georgetown would be complete without a visit to the Botanical Gardens and zoo. The Botanical Gardens houses one of the most extensive collections of tropical flora in the Caribbean and are laid out with ponds, canals, kissing bridges and bandstand. Over 100 species of Guyanese wildlife can be observed at the Zoo including a wide variety of tropical fishes and birds.

The National Museum which contains a broad selection of our animal life and heritage should not be missed, nor the Walter Roth Museum of Anthropology, which explains Amerindian history and life style.

Day 3: 4x4 and canoe to Amatuk Falls, camp (B,L,D)

We depart Georgetown at 07.00 and make our way to town of Linden.

From Linden it is a 5-hour dusty trip on the Mabura hill road, where you will enter the Konawaruk Mountains. Sightings of Cursow, deer and jaguars are frequent on this road.

We reach Mahdia, where you change vehicle to an open back 4×4 for a one hour trail drive to Pamela landing on the Potaro River.

The real adventure begins with a 2-hour boat trip and walking up the Potaro River to the Amatuk Falls where water rushes over rocks creating natural Jacuzzis.

Overnight at Camp Amatuk.

Day 4: Boat to Waratuk Falls, camp (B,L,D)

Today you leave by boat and continue upstream from the fall. The river now enters the Kaieteur Gorge and steep mountains rise up on either side to heights of 610m/2,000ft – many of their bare rock faces look like ancient temples. We finally reach our next campsite at the Waratuk Fall where we camp for the night.

Arrive in Guyana and transfer to Georgetown. Overnight at Cara Lodge, a 150-year-old heritage building which has been converted into a beautiful small hotel.

Day 5: Hike to Tukiet, camp (B,L,D)

After an early breakfast, we begin the last leg of the journey.

An 8-hour hike through beautiful rainforest will take you from the Waratuk Fall to Tukiet, at the bottom of the impressive Kaieteur Falls, where we overnight. At this is fabulous campsite you can cool of in the Potaro River and at the same time take in the spectacular view of the gorge.

Day 6: Kaieteur Falls, guest house (B,L,D)

From Tukeit you ascend the mountain to the top of Kaieteur fall – a 4 hour hike. The ascent winds it way up the mountain through changing vegetation as the altitude rises. You will pass cool mountain streams where it is impossible to continue without a dip.

The final stage of the climb is known as ‘OH MY GOD’ because of its steep trail. But on reaching the top all is forgotten as you catch your glimpse of the mighty Kaieteur. At dusk thousand of swifts gather the sky like dark clouds then plunge into the water of the fall to their nesting site on the rock face behind the fall.

Tonight we sleep at Kaieteur Guest House.

Day 7: Fly to Georgetown, transfer to Cara Lodge (B,L)

The early morning mist of Kaieteur gives way to a fantastic view of the falls from Johnson View. The golden frog can easily be seen in the giant Bromeliads in this area. On the plane to Georgetown you get a final, spectacular aerial view of Kaieteur Falls, the gorge and the awe-inspiring expanse of rainforest and rivers below you.

Transfer from airport to Georgetown and overnight at Cara Lodge.

Day 8: Fly to Lethem, cross through Brazil to Venezuela, lodge (B,D)

We fly from Georgetown to Lethem and then cross border to Bon Fim in Brazil to catch the bus to Boa Vista.

At the Brazilian border town La Linea your tour leader is waiting for you and accompanies you on the way to the gold mining town of Santa Elena de Uairen (Venezuelan border town with Brazil). It’s an approximately 20 minute ride from the Brazilian border.

Overnight at Camp Yakoo.

Day 9: Drive to Canaima National Park, trek to camp (B,L,D)

We drive to Canaima National Park, which is inhabited by indigenous people of the Pemon tribe. The Canaima National Park is with 30,000 sq. km. the seventh largest National Park in the world. Visit the Jasper waterfalls, where you will be able to appreciate the different tones of colour of this semi-precious rock.

We continue to Paritepuy de Roraima, a small indigenous community of the Pemon Indians, where we will meet our camp porters for the trek. We begin our trek across rolling grassland of the savannah.

After crossing several streams, such as the Tek River and the Kukunan River, we reach the Kukunan campsite and can enjoy a fantastic view of the stark face of Roraima ahead and Kukunana Tepuy to its left. The Kukunan Falls, second tallest in the world (640m/2,100ft), should be clearly visible, too, and we can see the pinnacle of rock next to Roraima.

Overnight at Kukunan Campsite.

Day 10: Trek to Roraima base, camp (B,L,D)

On this 5-hour trek we cross rising savannah to the base of the mountain to camp in a meadow alive with multi-coloured birds and fireflies at night.

The Roraima wall is extremely impressive here as it rises 914m/3,000ft directly in front of the campsite, with the quartz in the rock glittering in the late afternoon sun.

This fascinating campsite is considered as being one of the best campsites in the world.

Day 11: Climb to top of Roraima, camp (B,L,D)

In the morning we set off along the route that leads diagonally across the face of the Roraima wall (5 hrs, 3km). The narrow trail winds through montane rainforests and crosses small streams where hummingbirds, orchids and brightly coloured flowers are abundant.

Higher up, the vegetation changes to pre-historic tree ferns and the trail leads under a waterfall descending from the cliff edge hundreds of feet above. After 4 -5 hours we arrive at the entrance to the summit, guarded by massive grey rocks.

Here we can look back for an incredible view. We visit the Valley of Crystals, the river-valley of the Arobopo River shaped like an amphitheatre around which are grouped large dark rounded stone columns. The river itself runs over a bed of crystals and crystal fragments. The northern point of Mount Roraima offers us stunning views from various points on the edge.

Overnight on Roraima.

Day 12: Explore summit, camp (B,L,D)

We explore Roraima’s summit trekking a long circular route to the triple border point, where Venezuela, Guyana and Brazil meet (9 hours).

We walk through strange rock formations, surprisingly lush valleys and places where the ground is covered with sparkling quartz crystals. There are rock pools everywhere and you may be lucky enough to see the strange black toads, unique to Mount Roraima.

The plant life is bizarre, as over half the species are unique to Tepuys or to Roraima alone, including several species of orchids and carnivorous plants. We also visit the Oil Bird cave (Guacharo bird).

Day 13: Return to camp (B,L,D)

In the morning there is still time to explore some more before we descend to the base and continue to the campsite at Tek River, where we overnight (8 hours).

Day 14: Return to Paratepuy, lodge (B,L,D)

We complete the 4-hour return to Paratepuy and our driver with welcomed fresh supplies of beer, soft drinks and a large lunch.

We say goodbye to our camp porters and set off to Santa Elena de Uairen where we return Camp Yakoo.

Day 15: Transfer to Lethem, hotel (B,D)

Transfer to the Brazilian border town La Linea and from there we continue to Lethem, Guyana. Overnight at Savannah Inn.

Day 16: Fly Georgetown, transfer to international airport for flight out, tour ends (B)

Fly from Lethem to Georgetown. Transfer to airport for departing international flight.

Accommodation

Being mainly rainforest, and because much of the trip takes place in the rainforest, you will sleep in beds surrounded by mosquito nets.

Sleeping within the rainforest and savannah is a fantastic experience, and comes as second nature after a day or two.

While no one comes to Guyana looking for a luxury travel experience, welcome creature comforts are on offer at the charming colonial boutique Cara Lodge in Georgetown as well as the storied Pegasus on the city’s northwest corner.

A variety of expert guides may accompany on this tour, all of whom have many years’ experience and plenty of enthusiasm to make sure your trip is a great one.

Below are a few of the guides.

Wally Prince:  Unrivalled expertise and experience leading tours and teams in Guyana.

Wally is one of the most sought-after guides for professional birders, documentary teams, and scientific expeditions visiting Guyana. He served for seven years as the guide coordinator, resident wildlife biologist, chief trainer, and operations manager at Iwokrama International Centre for Rainforest Conservation and Development. He has identified more than 700 of the 800+ bird species recorded in Guyana and is intimately familiar with their habitats, behaviours, vocalisations, and mating rituals. He grew up wandering through Guyana’s lush and biodiverse interior.

Gary Sway:  Amerindian, Expert Naturalist

Gary Sway is a Macushi Amerindian from the village of Surama. Having grown up in the rainforest he has a great understanding and affinity for his natural surroundings and the wildlife. He has been a guide at Surama Eco-lodge for nearly 15 years and is well loved by those who have explored and seen the rainforest through his eyes. Gary is also an experienced birding guide and has represented Guyana at the Bird Expo in Columbus Ohio, USA. His patience and keen eye means great rewards for those birding with him. In his spare time Gary is a leading player in the Surama Makushi culture group.

Nadir (Carlos) Allie:   Guide, Bird Expert

Nadir (Carlos) Allie was originally from the west coast of the ancient county of Berbice. His family were rice farmers, but Carlos did not want to follow this path, and moved to Georgetown to learn his father’s profession and became a tailor. From an early age Carlos always had a love and passion for birds. He never joined the other boys in trying to shoot them with a slingshot, preferring to rescue and care for the injured ones.

In Georgetown, through his love of birds he became friends with Andy Narine and together they formed the Guyana Amazon Tropical Birds Society (GATBS). Through GATBS, Carlos was able to get involved in many different projects including bird counts for some of the interior lodges, and also collecting information on the avifauna of Guyana for a new Guyana bird list. Over the years Carlos has become an experienced bird guide, leading tours to Guyana’s top birding locations especially along the coastlands where he was born and continues to live. Carlos loves to share his passion and love of birds with visitors and locals whenever he gets the opportunity. He is especially fond of leading tours of the Botanical Gardens in Georgetown.

Almost all dietary requirements can be catered for – please enquire in advance as we have to organise supplied.

Whilst on tour the food is of a very good standard with fresh beef, chicken and fish and plenty of vegetables and fruit.

On camping trips/in remote areas, use is made of dried and salted produce, supplemented by fishing.

The blend of different ethnic influences – Indian, African, Chinese, Creole, English, Portuguese, Amerindian, North American – gives a distinctive flavour to Guyanese cuisine.

Try dishes such as Pepper Pot, meat cooked in casareep (bitter casava) juice with peppers and herbs. Garlic pork, a specialty at Christmas.  Curry and Roti is popular everywhere. Seafood is plentiful and varied, as is the wide variety of tropical fruit and vegetables. Try casava and yams.

Rum is the most popular drink and Guyana blends some of the worlds best. There are many inexpensive rums that are an excellent rum with mixers. The better rums such as Banks Extra, Banks XM 10 Year and DDL’s 12 year old King of Diamonds are smooth rums and great straight or on the rocks. DDL’s 15 year old El Dorado was voted the best rum in the world in 1999, 2000 and 2001, and is as smooth as a good brandy. The local Banks Beer is a good beer.

The water from the tap is brownish in colour, which is from the tannin in the water, and not polluted. However, it is recommended that bottled water, which is readily available, is used for drinking. Remember to drink plenty of it to prevent dehydration as it does get humid in Guyana.

This has been classified a moderate trek.

You need to be have a reasonable level of walking fitness to hike to Kaieteur Falls. The climb up from the Gorge to the top of the Falls is a hot and hard one which will take 4-6 hours, depending on the weather and your fitness levels. Most days you will walk for a few hours, bird spotting and searching for wildlife.

The humidity can make a short walk feel a lot harder than it is, and take on board lots of water.

The trip is open to anyone who wants to experience the rainforest, but particularly for those with an interest in hiking and wildlife.

Practical Information

Introduction to guyana.

Guyana is the only English-speaking country on the South American continent and has a Caribbean feel.  

It is a destination for the nature lover looking for an off-the-beaten-path destination with many attractions. Guyana offers pristine rainforest, abundant wildlife, jaguars and the mighty Kaieteur Falls.

Start your adventure in the melting pot that is the country’s capital – Georgetown. Here Hindu, Muslim and Christian cultures blend in harmony.

Head off to visit the breathtaking Kaieteur Falls – the  world’s highest single-drop waterfall.

Then the interior beckons. Jungle and Savannah await. With luck you might spot the Cock o’ the rock or a harpy eagle.

Bigger mammals such as the ant eater might surprise you or if incredibly lucky the mighty jaguar. Travel by road or river and stay in rustic but comfortable lodges – all with an authentic Guyanese welcome.

Guyana will be an unforgettable adventure.  

Geography of Guyana

Guyana has five natural habitats to discover, the most famous of which is is its dense rain forest.

This ‘jungle’ is also known as the  Forested Highland Region and is in the south of the country, and is very sparsely populated.

The majority (around 90%) of Guyana’s population lives in a marshy plain on the Atlantic coast, known as the low coastal plain .

Most of the country’s mineral deposits (bauxite, gold, diamonds) are found a little further inshore in that is called the  white sand belt .

The south west of the country gives way to a desert savannah which then becomes an interior savannah .

From here, the grasslands and mountains of the interior highlands  start to rise towards the borders with Brazil and Venezuela.

This is the largest of Guyana’s geographical areas and consists a series of plateaus, flat-topped mountains, and savannahs.

The Pakaraima Mountains dominate the western part of the interior highlands and include Mount Roraima, Guyana’s highest peak at 2,772m (9,094 ft) on the Venezuelan border.

The largest expanse of grassland, the Rupununi Savannah, covers about 15,000 square kilometres in southern Guyana.

Guyana has three large rivers, the Essequibo at 1,010km(628 miles), the Courantyne River (which forms a natural border with Suriname) at 724kms (450 miles), and the Berbice – 595kms (370 miles).

Weather in Guyana

Guyana is a hot and humid country. February and March are prime times to visit, along with Aug-Jan. Read our guide to Guyana’s weather for more.

The mean shade temperature is 27°C, while maximum is 31°C and the minimum is 24°C. The heat is greatly tempered by cooling breezes from the sea.

There are two wet seasons in the north of the country, from May to June, and from December to January.

The south and the Rupununi region receive one wet season from May to July.

All wet seasons may extend into months either side.

Rainfall averages 2,300 mm a year in Georgetown.

Good kit is vital for every trip.

Guyana is a hot and humid country.

Take sunscreen, sun glasses and a hat to Guyana.

It can rain at any time, so always have a poncho/waterproof jacket handy.

Give plenty of thought to kit selection, and try to keep weight down.

Passenger/s traveling on internal flights in Guyana are allowed a free baggage allowance of 20lbs/9.1KG exceeding this weight passenger/s will incur a cost of GY$150.00 (price subject to change) equivalent to US$ 0.77cents per pound. Please note that additional baggage allowance is subject to availability and cannot be confirmed until day/time of check-in by the airline.  We can book excess weight on your behalf but it is subject to being within the payload of the aircraft and at the discretion of the airline. We understand you may want more than 20lbs/9.1KG of baggage and wish to have guaranteed excess baggage/weight and so an alternative is to pre-book an extra seat on the flight which will afford you 175lbs/79.4KG for you to use individually or for your group.

More on Gran Sabana and Mount Roraima

The Gran Sabana

The Gran Sabana is a grassy savannah-like plateau with an elevation of 900-1,200m. Millions of years of erosion have made this location one of the world’s richest areas for gold and diamond mining. Abounding in natural wonders such as waterfalls, rapids and tropical rainforest, the plentiful wildlife makes the Sabana a naturalist and birdwatcher’s paradise.

Recently tourism, and especially eco-tourism, has made La Gran Sabana the first choice for travellers seeking adventure in the remote areas of its unique geography.

Above the Sabana loom the tepuys, or “Table Mountains” of which Mount Roraima is the most famous. The tepuys are estimated to be over 1,700 million years old. On the tepuys’ lunar-like surface are many plants and animals found no where else on earth. The Auyantepuy, located in Canaima National Park, features the Angel Falls, the world’s tallest waterfall.

Mount Roraima

Mount Roraima is one of the most acclaimed sights in South America. For hundreds of years the mile high flat topped mountain has been inspiring the tales and rumours concerning what actually exists on its summit above the clouds.

In the late sixteenth century, Sir Walter Raleigh first visited the area around Roraima, searching for a civilisation that would make England as rich as the Aztecs had made Spain. He never found one, but he did return home with what were deemed by his peers as wild and outlandish stories about a Crystal Mountain. In his treaties “The Discoveries of the large Rich and Beautiful Empire of Guiana”, Raleigh likened the mountains to “a high church tower. “A large river leaps down from above without touching the mountain’s wall in its descent, as it goes out toward the air and reaches the bottom with a roar and clamour that would be produced by one thousand giant bells striking one another. I believe there does not exist a bigger and more marvelous waterfall in the world,” he said.

Roraima has also made an impression on western literature and thought, influencing such men as Charles Darwin and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. After the publication of Darwin’s “Origin of Species” there was great public interest in “missing links” and “relic species” preserved by isolation. Roraima’s mysterious summit was an excellent possibility for an area at evolutionary standstill and the last place on earth where dinosaurs could exist. Conan Doyle, fascinated by the descriptions of explorers such as Im Thurm, wrote in 1912 what is considered to be one of the best science fiction novels ever written “The Lost World.”

ATOL holiday protection

Andean Trails has 25 years of experience of putting together the best South America holidays.

We pay a fee to the CAA for every licensable passenger we book since we hold an Air Travel Organiser’s Licence granted by the Civil Aviation Authority. In the unlikely event of our insolvency, the CAA will ensure that you are not stranded abroad and will arrange to refund any money you have paid to us for an advance booking.

We also offer ATOL (Civil Aviation Authority) protected holidays to give our customers peace of mind when booking and travelling.

When you buy an ATOL protected air holiday package from Andean Trails Ltd you will receive a Confirmation Invoice from us confirming your arrangements and your protection under our Air Travel Organiser’s Licence number 6275.

You can read more about ATOL, who is covered and what protections you have if not ATOL-covered, on our ATOL page.

What is ATOL?

The CAA’s ATOL scheme offers protection to your money and your holiday if you book with us. Not everybody is covered (see ‘Who is covered?’ for more), as you must purchase an ‘air package holiday’ with Andean Trails to be protected.

And  ‘air package holiday’ is defined as including a flight and some ground services (hotel, transfer, trek etc). This is also known as an ‘ATOL-protected holiday’.

Who is covered?

To be covered by ATOL, you must book a flight and some ground services with us and be from the UK. If you are from the UK and only book ground services and no flights, you are not covered by ATOL (see below for more on how non-ATOL clients are covered).

If you are outside the UK and buy flights with us, you will be ATOL protected IF any of the flights booked with Andean Trails touches/stops in the UK at any point during your holiday package booked with us.

If you buy your flights elsewhere, please check with that agent if you are ATOL protected. Be careful with online flight purchases and make sure you know what protection you have, if any, before paying for flights.

Not all holiday or travel services offered and sold by us will be protected by the ATOL scheme. Please ask us to confirm what protection may apply to your booking.

For land only holidays not involving any air travel, in accordance with “The Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992”, all UK passengers booking with Andean Trails Ltd. are fully protected for the initial deposit and subsequently the balance of all money paid to us, arising from cancellation or curtailment of travel arrangements due to the insolvency of Andean Trails.

I’m not ATOL covered, what protection do I have?

If you are not ATOL covered, any payments you make to us go to a Trust account.

We can only access this money once your tour has been completed, meaning that if anything happens to Andean Trails Limited while you are on holiday, then your money is secure and you can either complete the trip or be able to make it home.

If you pay for your holiday with a credit card, some offer payment protection – please check with your cardholder.

You also should have cancellation protection written into your insurance (which we recommend you have at the time of booking) in case you need to cancel.

Atta rainforest lodge, Guyana

Get up into the trees like monkeys at Atta Lodge, for some up close and personal wildlife viewing.

The major attraction here is a 154m/505ft long canopy walkway, with four platforms some up to 30m into the canopy.

An array of birds and animals you struggle to see from the forest floor soon zoom into view.

Among these are endangered and protected species such as the jaguar, the bullet wood tree, greenheart and the waramadan (endemic in Guyana only to the Iwokrama Forest).

The lodge provides comfortable accommodation with 8 private rooms, three home-cooked meals per day, and ample opportunities to explore the surrounding rainforest by foot, canoe, or 4X4.

Caiman House, Guyana

You’ll need to keep quiet in your kayak as you help researchers from Caiman House search and tag black caiman at night time.

By staying here, you’ll get an inside look at the work of those trying to protect this endangered species.

You can help to collect the data of any captured caiman – some reaching up to 12 feet in length! – before they are released back into the wild.

Caiman House is once-in-a-lifetime and thrilling part to any tour of Guyana, especially for wildlife enthusiasts who can also look out for snakes, frogs, bird spiders and more

Georgetown, Guyana

The Atlantic gateway to Guyana, Georgetown is a fascinating mix of people, history fusions.

The ex-British colony contains influences from Amerindians, Asia, Brazil and more, making it a lively and welcoming destination.

The Natural History Museum is well worth a visit, as well as the world’s largest wooden cathedral and the thrumming market.

English is widely spoken and friendly local people are normally up for a chat about the unique atmosphere of Georgetown.

Iwokrama Field Station , Guyana

Deep into Guyana’s enormous rainforest lies Iwokrama, a one million acre wilderness full of wildlife.

Birds, trees frogs and the elusive puma live in the forests, whose verdant canopy you can enjoy from the Turtle Mountain vantage point.

The area is protected and known as Iwokrama International Centre for Rainforest Conservation, with the full involvement of the local people.

You can see their history in the Amerindian petroglyphs close to some rivers, a fascinating insight into how animals and humans have coexisted for centuries in this pristine rainforest.

Kaieteur Falls, Guyana

Flying over the jungle canopy, the views confirm that there are no other falls in the world with the magnitude of the sheer drop existing at Kaieteur.

Being so remote, you can walk right up to the flowing water, which gushes 822 feet into a deep and forested gorge.

Look for Golden frogs, unique to a tiny area, living in bromeliads growing in the warm, humid air.

Most likely your group will be the only souls in this remote location, adding to its incredible appeal.

Karanambu Ranch, Guyana

Famous for rescuing orphaned giant river otters, Karanambu also represents the spirit of travel of old.

An outpost, miles from civilisation, there’s a warm welcome and great wildlife.

See the giant Victoria Regis water lily bloom at dusk, or cruise the river looking for giant otters and caiman.

If you wake early enough, you may be able to find a giant anteater snaffling around for a treat.

Sadly, Diane McTurk is no longer with us, but the ranch continues to write its own chapters in the history of conservation.

Roraima Mountains, Guyana

Rumoured to have inspired parts of Conan Doyle’s Lost World book, ‘Tepuys’, or table top mountains, after visiting, it’s easy to see why.

From the sabanna that links Guyana’s western front with Venuzuela, the Tepuys rise dramatically.

They provide unique eco-zones for many species and the lunar-like surface is home to species found nowhere else on earth.

Waterfalls, rapids and rainforest criss-cross the various faces and sections of the Tepuys, making Mount Roraima one of the most acclaimed sights in South America.

tour roraima venezuela

Que puedes hacer en el Tepuy Roraima

Viajar al Roraima es de por si una gran aventura, un trekking lleno de energía, mitos, leyendas y retos personales que irán acompañados con escaladas, pernoctas al aire libre (carpas) exploración y grandes caminatas. El principal objetivo es alcanzar su cima, ya estando allí podremos explorar sitios fabulosos que nos llevaran al pasado como: La Tortuga Voladora, El Elefante, La Catedral de Piedra, El Lago Peluche, El Valle de Los Cristales Norte, El Valle de Los Cristales Sur, Los Laberintos, Las Grietas del Guacharo, La Cueva Ojos de Cristal, El Abismo, La Ventana del Kukenan, El Maverick, La Fosa, El Lago Gladys, La Proa, El Punto Triple entre muchos otros lugares.

Es una gran travesía lo que los espera, por eso podrán también conocer lugares que deberán pasar en la Gran Sabana para poder llegar hasta Paraitepuy (punto de inicio del trekking) y de allí los lugares como el Rio Tek y Rio Kukenan que pasaran caminando hasta la base del Roraima.

Donde te puedes hospedar en el Tepuy Roraima

Esta aventura es una vivencia al Natural, es la interacción perfecta con la naturaleza y nuestros antepasados, volviendo a ese tiempo cuando todo era al aire libre, por eso durante nuestra estadía las pernoctas serán tipo Camping, en Carpas especiales de alta montaña para resguardarnos del viento y la lluvia, las carpas tiene una capacidad máxima para 2 personas. Deberán traer su bolsa de dormir (slepping bag) y aislante térmico (también ofrecemos el servicio de alquiler).

Como la travesía es larga deberán tomar nuestro recomendación de pernoctar 1 día antes de su salida y luego 1 día después de terminar el trekking para que recarguen energías, ponemos a su disposición varios tipos de pernocta en hoteles o posadas en Santa Elena de Uairen (Hotel Gran Sabana, Hotel Anaconda, posada Los Pinos, Vialla Fasirmont, Posada Backpackers. entre otros).

Donde queda el Tepuy Roraima

El Tepuy Roraima se encuentra en el sureste de Venezuela, en el estado Bolívar, en el sector Oriental del extenso Parque Nacional Canaima, cerca de la frontera con Brasil (Santa Elena de Uiaren). Roraima forma parte de una cadena de tepuyes que conforman la sierra de Pacaraima, su área de 31 km² está dividida entre 3 países; Venezuela (con 80%), Guyana (con 15%) y Brasil (con 5%). 

Como se llega al Tepuy Roraima

La manera de llegar hasta el Roraima es caminando, por algo es conocido como el mejor trekking de Latinoamericana. El trekking inicia en la comunidad de Paraitepuy, a unos 50km desde la troncal 10 de la Gran Sabana, allí podremos llegar en vehículos rústicos 4x4.

Para los menos aventureros pero mas afortunados a la vez existe otra manera de llegar, esta es en helicóptero saliendo desde Santa Elena de Uairén, otro nivel con paisajes únicos e impresionantes vistas.

El mejor punto de encuentro es Santa Elena de Uairén , allí podrán llegar desde cualquier parte de Venezuela por vía terrestre, en sus propios vehículos, en buces comerciales, alquilando una vans o tomando un taxi. 

Otra forma mas cómoda de llegar hasta Santa Elena de Uairén es tomar un vuelo comercial hasta el Aeropuerto Internacional de Santa Elena de Uairén , actualmente no hay vuelos comerciales, así que la única forma al momento es contratando un vuelo charter privado. Por este motivo le recomendamos tomar un vuelo comercial hasta el Aeropuerto Manuel Carlos Piar en Pto. Ordaz, desde allí podrán hacer la conexión terrestre hasta Santa Elena de Uairén (7 horas de recorrido aprox).

Conoce un poco de historia del Tepuy Roraima

El origen de la palabra Roraima no está bien definido. Los primeros exploradores en el área encontraron que muchos pemones locales se referían a esta montaña como “la madre de todas las aguas” , nombre muy apropiado debido a que desde su cima caen numerosas cascadas, las cuales son la fuente de algunos ríos que fluyen hacia el Orinoco, el Esequibo o el Amazonas. Sin embargo para los pemones taurepanes, el nombre correcto de este tepuy es Roroima , deriva de dos palabras en la lengua pemón: “Roro” que significa verde azulado e “Ima” que significa “gran”. La traducción más común es “Gran verde azulado”, aunque también se le conoce como "casa de los espíritus" “casa de los dioses” “roca rodante” o “fecunda madre de los torrentes”.

Es uno de los 115 tepuyes de la Gran Sabana, siendo el más alto de la cadena Pakaraima de mesetas de Tepui en Sur América, su punto más alto es la Roca Maverick, a 2.810 metros.

Muchas de las especies encontradas en el Roraima son únicas de la meseta. En la cima de la montaña crecen varios tipos de bosque, con una amplia variedad de orquídeas, bromelias y especies de plantas carnívoras. La diversidad animal consiste en insectos, aves, sapos y también reptiles y mamíferos pequeños como ratones. 

El Roraima es un lugar sagrado para la tribu indígena Pemón, cuyo pueblo es respetuoso de la naturaleza y considera necesario el equilibrio entre el bien y el mal. Muchos pemones son guías en los viajes a la cima, por lo que ya es un rito pedirle permiso, mediante una oración, al “gran verde azulado” antes de subirlo. Una vez arriba, es imperativo no gritar ni hablar en voz alta pues el Tepuy se molesta con lo que la lluvia caerá intensamente y prevalecerá un mal clima.

Mucho antes de la llegada de los exploradores europeos, la Montaña ha mantenido un significado social para la gente indígena de la región, y es el centro de muchos de sus mitos y leyendas. Los nativos Pemón y Kapón de la Gran Sabana ven al Monte Roraima como el tronco de un poderoso árbol que una vez contuvo todas las frutas y vegetales tuberculosos del mundo. Talado por Makunaima, su mítico embaucador, el árbol cayó a tierra desencadenando una terrible inundación. Los indios nativos nunca intentaron escalar el Roraima Tepui.

El Roraima se hizo famoso cuando sir Arthur Conan Doyle (el mismo autor de las novelas de Sherlock Holmes) escribió en 1912 su clásica novela de aventuras El Mundo Perdido. en donde sus personajes capturan a un pterodáctilo en una "mesa" al norte de Manaos donde confluyen las fronteras de tres países. 

Los Tepuyes, datan de la Era Precámbrica, la primera etapa de la composición de la tierra, las tierras más antiguas de todo el planeta, con una data de mas de 3000 mil millones de años, muchos científicos coinciden que en este punto ocurrió la separación de los antiguos continentes “Pangea o Gondwana”. el lugar más energético de la Tierra, donde abundan testimonios de visitantes que aseguran haber sentido una energía especial muy poderosa junto a una gran paz espiritual, donde también abundan los relatos sobre avistamientos ovnis.

1596: Sir Walter Raleigh lo menciona en su libro "Guiana", llamándole "Montaña de Cristal".

1654: El cartógrafo francés Nicolás Sanson d'Abbeville realiza el primer mapa de la región

1869: el geólogo Charles Barrington Brown aseguraba que la única manera de ascender a la cima era en globo!

1879: El estudioso de las aves, Henry Witely, vio por primera vez una estrecha ladera del lado este y supuso que podía conducir a la cima

1884: Los ingleses Everard Im Thurn y Harry I. Perkins, se convierten en los primeros expedicionarios en llegar a la cumbre, quienes subieron por el lado sureste, por lo que hoy día se llama "la ruta de Im Thurn", el único camino fácil a la cumbre que hoy en día se utiliza.

1892: Julio Verne, menciona al Roraima en su novela "El Soberbio Orinoco"

1912: Inspirado en la antigüedad geológica del Macizo Guayanés, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, 

1931: se acuerda la fijación del "Punto Triple" en la cima del Roraima, donde coinciden las fronteras de Venezuela, Brasil y Guayana.

1987: el Grupo Ingeniería de Arborización (GIDA) de la Universidad Central de Venezuela inicia el registro de visitantes del Roraima, habiendo hasta diciembre de 1990 un total de 3.500 visitantes, en su mayoría Venezolanos, Alemanes y Norteamericanos.

1990: el Instituto Nacional de Parques (INPARQUES) prohibe el acceso turístico al tepuy debido a los múltiples daños ocasionados por los visitantes, entre ellos se puede citar la destrucción de la flora y la acumulación de basura en la cima.

1992 (aproximadamente): se reinicia el ascenso turístico con la estricta presencia de un guía Pemón, lo cual -en teoría- ayudaría a la protección del tepuy. Sin embargo, la verdadera responsabilidad de protección la tienen cada uno de los visitantes que todos los años exploran esta fabulosa montaña.
