Mount Roraima National Park, located in the northern region of Brazil near the borders with Venezuela and Guyana, is a stunning natural reserve known for its breathtaking landscapes and unique geological formations. The park is centered around Mount Roraima, a flat-topped mountain or "tepui" that rises dramatically from the surrounding rainforest. This iconic mesa, often shrouded in mist, is one of the oldest geological formations on Earth, dating back around two billion years. The park is a haven for biodiversity, home to numerous endemic species of plants and animals. The unique environment of the tepui, with its isolated plateau and high-altitude ecosystem, supports flora and fauna that cannot be found anywhere else in the world.
