Roraima Mountains

It’s easy to see how Conan Doyle’s Lost World novel drew inspiration from his reading about Guyana’s tepuis, the famous tabletop mountains.

From the savannah linking Guyana’s western front to Venezuela, the Tepuys of Roraima rise dramatically.

They provide unique eco-zones for many species, and their lunar-like surfaces are home to species found nowhere else on Earth.

Waterfalls, rapids, and rainforest crisscross the Tepuys’ faces and sections, making Mount Roraima one of the most acclaimed sights in South America.
