|  Roraima Tepuy The Real Lost world 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 cystal 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.

|  The tallest tepui (flat-topped, cliff-edged mountain) in Venezuela’s great plains, Roraima’s fog-covered summit has interesting black rocks, pools, gorges and wildflower gardens to explore.          | |||||||||||

| Tepui Roraima, one of the most massive and highest mesas in region, sits at the tripartite border of Venezuela, Brazil and Guyana. Its plateau is at 2700 m and the highest part at 2810 m. Its dominant presence in the landscape of Gran Sabana offers you one of the most extraordinary and unforgettable experiences during your stay in Venezuela. The views are mesmerizing and life atop of the Tepui is of another world. Roraima hosts an abundance of endemic flora and fauna species. Roughly half of the flora identified in the “Lost World” exists only on Roraima and nowhere else in the world. Isolated from each other and towering over the savannah, these fascinating mesas are biological wonders, each developing its own unique flora and fauna, which often exist nowhere else in the world.        | |||||||||||
