Our adventures in Venezuela started with a six day trek up Mount Roraima, a crazy table top mountain that soars out of flat plains surrounding it. I`m no geologist, but it`s quite spectacular. It was written about as the Lost World by Arthur Conan Doyle, because of it`s steep rainforesty sides and moonscape jurassic top. You really do feel like ...

Bit of traveling involved to get to Venezuela from the National Park back in Brazil.
