Summit Plateau of Mt. Roraima
On the trek's third day, we completed the erosion cone until we reached the rock wall. Mt. Roraima's wall has a ramp that facilitates overcoming the wall. The ramp leads straight to the summit. On the summit, we stayed in the camp named "Hotel Basilio" under an overhanging rock. |
