4Mount Roraima, Venezuela: A Tabletop Mountain from Another World

Mount Roraima, located at the intersection of Venezuela, Brazil, and Guyana, is one of the world’s most mysterious and surreal mountains. This flat-topped tepui, or tabletop mountain, rises dramatically from the surrounding jungle, with sheer cliffs and clouds often obscuring its summit. The unique ecosystem on top of Mount Roraima is home to rare plant species and landscapes that seem frozen in time.

Hiking to the top of this ancient formation is like stepping into a lost world, and the mist-covered plateau, dotted with strange rock formations, feels like something out of a science fiction novel.
