Oldest place on planet earth. Mount Roraima is a mountain located in South America, on the triple border between Brazil, Venezuela and Guyana. It constitutes a tepui, a type of hill in the shape of a table quite characteristic of the Guyana plateau.
Mount Roraima is the seventh highest point in Brazil, with an altitude of 2,875 meters. As if the height were not enough, the place impresses with the shapes carved into the rocks and walls by the action of the winds in the middle of the Amazon savannas. Rivers, waterfalls, crystal sculptures and more than 400 species of bromeliads complete the landscape.
The formation began about 150 million years ago, and for centuries it has been inhabiting the imagination of adventurers, scientists, biologists, anthropologists, esotericists and mystics willing to do anything to climb the rock wall and reach its plateau.
