Monte Roraima National Park, created in 1989, covers an area of 116,000 hectares to the north of Brazil, in the state of Roraima on the border with Guyana and Venezuela. It is a region of beautiful savannah, intersected by rivers and waterfalls and is the location of one of the highest mountains in Brazil, Monte Roraima, 2,727 metres high. Shaped like a table, the Indians have named it “trepui”. It is an immense plateau surrounded by savannah bordering the tropical forests of the Rivers Amazon and Arenoso. The mountain was the inspiration for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s “The Lost World”.
