Mount Roraima
One of South America's greatest treks is reaching
the top of Mount Roraima, though you must be fit to attempt it.
It is the most famous of the "tepuys" or table top mountains, on top
of which ecological islands flourish, a unique ecosystem.
This 6 day trek described below includes tented
accommodation and all you need to make the climb including porters to carry camping equipment. The price does not include the flights between Caracas and Santa Elena; we can arrange these for you, please ask.
