Roraima

The trip to the Top of Roraima is only for die hard trek lovers. But to experience the top of "the lost world" is worth all your pain!.

Day 1

We leave Santa Elena by jeep ( 2 -3 hours) to reach Pareitepuy which is our starting point. We will hike for about 4 to 5 hours to get to the Kukenan river. After another strong uphill hiking we hope to have a good view of Mount Roraima, Kukenan and many other tepuys that form the Guyana shield. Dinner at the campsite.

Day 2

Just after breakfast a long uphill walk starts. We have to hike today 6 to 8 hours (2 quite strong uphill) before we reach the base camp with running water coming from the top of Roraima.

Day 3

It will take us about 2 hours to cross the thick and beautiful jungle with neo tropical plants (bromeliads, tree ferns and helicons); another 2 hours of ascent along the ramp on big rocks to reach the top of the plateau. Lunch at campsite and in the afternoon time for an exploration stroll on this island in time.

Day 4

We will find our way through the labyrinth of black lichen tainted rocks and hike for the whole day. We will reach the valley of the crystals, will cross the border of Venezuela - Brazil - Guyana and will hike on to "El Pozo". Around 8 hours of walking, lunch on the way, dinner in the camp.

Day 5

Time for some last photographs of the plants and views and then we start hiking down. We will hike to Rio Tek (around 6 to 8 hours), mostly strong down hill. A refreshing swim in the cool river will be a supreme reward. Lunch on the way and dinner at the camp.

Day 6

After breakfast it is still some 3 to 4 hours back to Pareitepuy where cold beers and icy refreshments await us. Be aware, the people of Inparques will check for crystals and other stuff you are not supposed to pick up or collect on the mountain. Our jeeps will drive you back to Santa Elena.
