This blog is all about Mount
Roraima, one of the oldest mountain formations on Earth, a natural border
between Venezuela, Brazil and Guyana in South America. It is also called Roraima
Tepui or Cerro Roraima.
There are some wonderful places on
Earth that offer such breathtaking views that they might just stick with you
forever and ever down in some rusty memory box. And there are others worth
discovering that we do not even know about. This site is about unconventional
traveling ideas, a place where people can find unworldly landscapes and a new way
of seeing things. And this definitely one of them.
Long before the European
conquistadors took over these lands, Mount Roraima was considered a symbol of
these regions, an “axis mundi”, an enormous tree within which all the
vegetables and fruits of the world grow. This mountain, surrounded by 400 meter
(1,300 ft) tall cliffs was a place of mystery, myths and legends for the
indigenous people that used to live here centuries ago.
Today this unusual looking mountain can be visited by anyone
having the will to discover it. The ascend starts in the Pemón village of
Paraitepui which can be reached via the town of Santa Elena. Getting to Mount
Roraima is possible by taking a plane to Santa Elena de Uairén airport. This is
a town in Brazil, very close to the border. From here on, you will see
there are buses or shuttles that can get you close to the ascending point- the
village of Paraitepui.
WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE
POSSIBLE
