The majestic Mount Roraima is the highest mountain in the Pacaraima
Mountains. Roraima lies on the three borders of Venezuela, Brazil, and
Guyana. The mountain is part of Venezuela’s Canaima National Park.
Monte Roraima was the first of the Tepuis to be climbed and the credit
goes to English botanist Everard Im Thurn on an expedition sponsored by
the Royal Geographical Society in 1884. It was his subsequent lectures
in England, that are believed to have inspired Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's
book 'The Lost World'.
