Mount Roraima and Angel Falls

The expedition to Mount Roraima covers one of the most impressive landscapes of South America: the Gran Sabana, in Southern Venezuela. A huge highland of some 14,000 sq miles, covered by mysterious table mountains, called tepuys (also tepui), with difficult access and many of them still undiscovered by science. A region that has been isolated for millions of years and where nature has developed endemic species on each of the tepuys, with a density rarely seen elsewhere, except the Galápagos Islands. A world that has been described in the novel “The Lost World” by Scottish writer Arthur Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes).

The aim of the expedition is the 2,810 m high Roraima table mountain (tepuy), located in the border region between Venezuela, Brazil, and Guyana. Here we will penetrate one of the oldest regions on the planet. Even for experienced trekkers and nature adventurers, this expedition is a special and unforgettable experience. Not just another hike or outdoor activity, it is instead a unique trip for nature lovers. The geological formation of the region is assigned to the Cambrian, which belongs to the lowest geo-chronic system. The Cambrian therefore corresponds to the period before about 542 to 488.3 million years ago, where the origin of mankind was not even to think about. With our Mount Roraima Tepuy Tri-State Expedition package we have developed an 11-day program that offers the possibility to visit some of the most spectacular places on the Roraima Plateau.

The program also includes a visit to Angel Falls (Salto Ángel) in Canaima National Park, Venezuela. At 979 m, it is the highest uninterrupted waterfall in the world, plunging from the edge of the Auyán-tepui into the rainforest below, a fitting finale to a journey through the land of the tepuis.
