Mount Roraima:

Mount Roriama, also known as ‘Roraima Tepui’ in Spanish is the highest of the Pakaraima shain of tepui plateau in South America. This mountain is defended by 400 meter tall cliffs on all sides and it includes the triple border point of Venezuela, Brazil and Guyana.

This mountain is weird because of its shape and it’s also mysterious because of the clouds that are always near the peak and the widespread fauna. The peak of the mountain is considered as one of the world’s oldest geological formations.

It is believed that this plateau is formed by the water and winds. But the mystery that has remained is that, some species which are found here can’t be found anywhere else in the world. It is considered as the ‘Lost World’ by the scientists.
