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.

A gorgeous trek that managed to surprise despite high expectations. Very well thought out, well maintained paths, gorgeous countryside, plants and endemic animal species, waterfalls for natural dips and showers along the way, year around. And the top is like reaching another planet, a deserted Indian palace ruins in the clouds with gardens, statues and ponds. We went with Vago tours (instagram account has some suggested departure dates but was very accommodating) with Luis who also organised a nice team of porters and the cook. We spent two nights totally alone on the top of Roraima, no other groups. A personalised experience, recommended. Some suggestions to keep in mind: As of 2020, the economy is pretty much dolarised, with brazilian reais also used as direct payment method in Santa Elena and around. Euro is less popular and will be treated as USD 1:1. The vast majority of hikers are Venezuelan and Brazilian. Similarly, the two languages and portuñol, the mix of the two, are easiest to travel around with. There is little you can do against the vicious puri puri bites. They are called besos de la Sabana. Long sleeves and long pants and some scratching for a week or so afterwards. The maintenance of the park and cleanliness were impressive. However, there was an uncomfortable situation when requesting the proof of payment for the entrance fees to the park. Do try insist on getting that as it would be a shame if the collected fees are not put to continued upkeep. The paved road from Santa Elena to San Francisco is way better than the road approaching the border on the Brazilian side. The remaining one hour of unpaved part from San Francisco to the start of the trek is quite bumpy though. All in all a wonderful, perhaps the nicest trek in South America considering the overall experience of beautiful nature and sustainable tourism without crowds.

This small community bordering Brazil was settled by "outsiders" in the 1980s - young urban couples with an artistic bent, seeking a more spiritual, natural and peaceful environment in which to raise children.
6. Viaja Verde
The experience to visit the earths oldest rock formation in an incredible 6-day trekking in Venezuela, Canaima National Park. An opportunity to observe the unique species that are found in the summit of Mount Roraima and live among the local indigenous people "Pemon" that will be part of the team during the adventure expedition.
