Join us on the Mount Roraima trek, an 8-day adventure to one of the oldest landscapes on Earth. This journey includes 3 nights at the top of the mountain, a deep connection with nature: you hike across diverse landscapes, bathe in the clear waters of natural jacuzzis and sleep under a blanket of stars.
On this expedition you climb to the summit’s triple-border point, where Venezuela, Brazil and Guyana meet — this is the Mount Roraima Venezuela frontier at its most dramatic. Be seduced by the Crystal Valley sparkling with quartz, admire the savannah from the La Ventana viewpoint, and climb Maverick Rock, the summit’s highest point at 2,875 m. Every stage of this Mount Roraima hike reveals unique wildlife, biodiversity and stunning landscapes.
What makes this Mount Roraima tour unique are our local expert Pemón guides, who keep your journey safe, informative and unforgettable. We offer an all-inclusive Mount Roraima expedition so you can fully immerse yourself in the region — the Roraima tepui, one of the oldest table-top mountains on the planet. For adventurers wanting more time, a 10-day option is also available. Don’t forget the visa requirements. Ready to live this adventure?
Day 1
Your Mount Roraima trek kicks off with a briefing at a Boa Vista hotel at 8:30 a.m., where you meet your fellow adventurers and go over the essentials. You then travel the scenic BR-174 to the Venezuelan border, complete customs formalities and overnight in Santa Elena de Uairén, well positioned to start the climb the next day.
Day 2
You cross the breathtaking Gran Sabana to the Community of Paraitepuy, the official starting point. From there you hike to a campsite by the Kukenan River and spend your first night in a tent under a star-filled sky, with Mount Roraima looming in the distance.
Day 3
A stunning sunrise reveals Mount Roraima towering ahead. You spend the day hiking closer to this natural wonder, reaching the base of the mountain by afternoon for a rest and lunch beneath gigantic walls that seem to touch the sky.
Day 4
The trail to the top offers something different at every step — gardens of bromeliads and orchids, streams and the captivating “Paso das Lágrimas” waterfall, and the Makunaima Monument. Reaching the plateau, you’re greeted by the “Guardians of the Mountain”, three enormous rock formations. Weather at the top is unstable, with daily variations in temperature and rain.
Day 5
One of two unforgettable days on top. You explore the Valley of Crystals, with its quartz outcrops, then head to the Triple Point and El Foso, before reaching Coati camp on the Brazilian side of the mountain for the night — a peaceful place to rest and reflect.
Day 6
Start by rejuvenating in the crystal jacuzzis, then walk to La Ventana, a lookout over Mount Kukenan and its waterfalls. To cap it off, you hike to Pedra Maverick, the highest point on Mount Roraima at 2,875 m, with a sweeping view of the Gran Sabana and the whole route you’ve trekked.
Day 7
Time to say goodbye to the “House of Makunaima”. You begin the descent to the base, pause to rest and snack, then continue about 3 more hours to the next camp for a night under possibly the starriest sky of the trip.
Day 8
A last hike to Paraitepuy, then 4×4 vehicles to Santa Elena, border customs and the drive back to Boa Vista, arriving late afternoon or early evening at the same hotel where the adventure began.
This is a true wilderness expedition. After the first night in a double room in Santa Elena de Uairén, accommodation is rustic and nature-based: you sleep in tents at campsites along the route, and in natural rock shelters (locally called “hotels”) on the summit that give partial protection from wind and rain. Tents are provided by the operator, carried up by the logistics team and shared between two people; nights on top are cold, so proper sleeping equipment and warm, dry clothes are essential.
Facilities are extremely basic — there are generally no conventional showers or bathrooms, and laundry is not available during the trek. The operator can rent a 60-litre backpack, sleeping bag, inflatable mat, thermal foam pad and trekking poles; boots must be your own and well broken-in. If you bring your own tent for the team to carry, a small extra fee applies.
Full board is included from Santa Elena de Uairén onwards. All meals are prepared by the expedition team and are hearty and energy-rich — exactly what you need after long days on challenging terrain. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are provided throughout. Dietary requirements (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free or specific allergies) can be accommodated with notice at booking, as supplies are planned well in advance given the remote location.
Water is abundant along the trail, with natural collection points every couple of hours; you refill bottles or a hydration bladder directly from streams. Each traveler treats their own drinking water, so bring purification tablets and at least a 1-litre bottle or a squeeze hydration system.
