Roraima will really impress you and will demand effort to reach the top of The Lost World in our 6 days trek (we can make it in 7 days too). Roraima: About 50 kilometers hike in total. You must be in good conditions! it is not impossible and there are always ways to make it easier for you. You can hire a porter and simply have our water and camera in your hands.
No problem if you are in a 6 days group, you want to go further and get the most out of your Roraima experience? Osprey Expeditions makes it happen! The extra day on top allows you to reach the Triple Point where Venezuela, Brazil and Guyana meet after crossing a bizarre landscape, hiking up and down, crossing creeks and boggy terrain, passing through natural labyrinths.
