Mount Roraima, Sandstone mountain plateau in Uiramutã, Brazil.
Mount Roraima rises 2,810 meters above sea level with vertical cliffs extending 400 meters high, creating a massive flat-topped summit of 31 square kilometers.
The geological formation dates back approximately two billion years to the Precambrian period, making it among the earliest rock structures on Earth.
The mountain's name originates from the Pemon language, where Roroi means blue-green and ma translates to great, reflecting its appearance in the landscape.
Visitors typically spend six days completing the trek, with three days for ascent and two for descent, requiring proper equipment for varying temperature conditions.
The summit contains multiple independent ecosystems with specialized plant species, including carnivorous plants that adapted to the nutrient-poor environment.
