Mount Roraima
Mount Roraima is a giant flat-topped mountain with steep walls that rise straight up like a natural fortress. Its top is a strange rocky world often wrapped in clouds.
Hikers dream of climbing to the top to see its bizarre rock shapes, hidden pools, and plants that grow nowhere else. It is said to have inspired famous adventure stories about lost worlds.
A World in the Clouds
The flat summit sits so high that clouds often float below and around it. Standing on top feels like being on a floating island in the sky.
Special Plants and Frogs
Tiny black frogs and unusual flowers live on the summit and are found only here. Some plants even catch insects to get their food.
The Big Climb
Reaching the top takes several days of hiking with a guide through forests and up a natural rocky ramp. Explorers camp under giant rocks along the way.
