Mount Ayanganna

Mount Ayanganna rises to 2041 meters as the easternmost tepui of the Pakaraima range, with slopes covered in lower montane forest and plateaus.

The Guyana Defence Force planted the national flag at Mount Ayanganna summit in 1966 to mark the country's independence, establishing an annual expedition tradition.

The mountain functions as a natural monument in Cuyuni-Mazaruni region, with surrounding Amerindian settlements maintaining traditional agricultural practices near its base.

The mountain requires advanced climbing skills and proper equipment to reach its summit, with access through dense rainforest and multiple elevation changes.

The mountain features distinct ecological zones, including terrestrial bromeliads on poorly drained plateaus and medium-canopy forests on upper slopes.
