** Roraima trek IV. **: The peak of the trek on Roraima is the ascent to the highest point of this mountain. The borders of three states meet on it. Apart from Venezuela, Brazil and Guyana. An ideal trek for „state collectors“. For others, especially a beautiful march through almost the entire Table Mountain in an amazing, mysterious landscape.

Morning atmosphere on Table Mountain

It usually rains overnight in the Table Mountains, so there is plenty of water everywhere in the morning. The morning mists over the surrounding black rocks have a really strong atmosphere.

Beautiful sunrise

If the weather allows you, you will enjoy a really beautiful sunrise here.

Camp under the overhang

So pack the last things in the „camp“ and you can go on a march on Table Mountain.

Trek over Table Mountain

The whole march along the top of Table Mountain is the most interesting, especially the surrounding bizarre landscape.

Rock formations on Roraima

It is not at all out of the question to have decent waterproof shoes for this trek, because the landscape is quite waterlogged after the evening rains.

Black rocks

The local rocks are dark in color and sometimes you come across really bizarre rock formations.

An unstoppable table mountain

The top of Table Mountain is really extensive, the path is noticeable. Here, the guide really pays off, because you would get lost here even in nice weather, and this is usually shrouded in a thick fog in the afternoon.

Rivers and canyons on Roraima

Table Mountain Roraima is such a microworld. Regular rivers flow along its top and you will find several canyons here.

A desolate world

On some prospects, you feel like it's really a very desolate world, like somewhere from the beginning of life on the globe.

Lids in the Kokořín region

In some places it looks almost like in the Kokořín region, but there are far more of those rock covers :-)

Rock soldiers

You practically have no chance to go through some parts of Table Mountain at all, thanks to the rock soldiers.

Border river of Venezuela and Brazil.

After a long march, you will finally come across the largest river on Table Mountain – which also forms the border of Venezuela and Brazil. You are already close to the goal – the triple point.

Valley of the Crystals

From the border river you ascend through the Valley of the Crystals to the Tripple Point.

Fairy crystals

The name of the Valley of the Crystals does not lie – you will find really beautiful stones here. Of course, it is forbidden to take away, but few tourists can resist.

Tripple Point

Finally, you are at the highest point of Table Mountain Roraima – at the Tripple Point. When you go around this bollard, you will visit three countries – Venezuela, Brazil and Guyana.

Fairytale crater

On the way back, another great place awaits you – a fairytale crater. An ideal place to take a break and enjoy yourself.

Adventure trip to the crater

If you have a good guide, he will show you the secret way to the crater. It wants to climb a smaller wall and then walk down a secret corridor with the wading of an underground river to the waterfall. The tuna is great for bathing. Just don't buy a camera :-)

Mysterious Mexican

Despite the fact that the sun will shine on the trek all day, a cloud may come over a while and the surrounding landscape will suddenly disappear in a practically impenetrable fog. The surrounding rock formations suddenly take on a completely different shape.
