Abstract

Mount Roraima is one of the most famous tepuis, high plateaus located mainly in the Venezuelan Guayana and known for their isolated terrain, pronounced climatic contrasts, and high number of endemic species. Mount Roraima has fascinated many adventurers and natural history enthusiasts since its first ascent in 1884, and even today, only a relatively small number of individuals have had the opportunity to explore it. This article is an excerpt from the author’s travel journal recounting a botanical expedition to this legendary mountain in January–February 2025.
