Mount Roraima is a fascinating lost world
It's a real lost world. On this flat-topped mountain in
Venezuela, cut off from civilisation, prehistoric castaways
have evolved into unique species found nowhere else on
the planet.
Welcome to the Mount Roraima, a spectacular sight which
Lonely Planet has explored for the new book The World's
Great Wonders.
Waterfalls spilling down sheer cliff faces into clouds.
Labyrinths of stone pinnacles. Valleys carpeted with
crystals. Carnivorous pitcher plants. Exquisite rare
orchids.
When you gazed up at the fortress of stone from the base
of the mountain, you didn't know what to expect from this
plateau floating high above the Amazon jungle. Now that
you're on the summit, it feels as if you've stepped into some
archaic land. A world untouched by humankind. A
forgotten world.
Pitching your tent for the night inside the caves, you hunker
down, your dreams filled with images of gushing waterfalls,
strange shifting landscapes and prehistoric creatures.
