VENEZUELA AND ITS NATURAL MONUMENTS

Mount Roraima (in Pemón Roraima Tepui language, Roroi means "greenish blue" and Ma means "great", and Tepui means "house of the spirits") is one of the 115 tepuyes of the Gran Sabana. It is the highest of the Pakaraima chain of plateaus of Tepui in South America, and constitutes the triple point of border between Venezuela, Brazil and Guyana. Mount Roraima is located in the Guiana Shield, in the extreme Southeast of the 30,000 km² of the Canaima National Park Venezuela, forming the highest peak of the Cordillera of the highlands of Guyana. The plateaus of the park are considered one of the oldest geological formations of the earth, dating from 2 billion years in the Precambrian.
