The natural wonders of the world never cease to amaze. Many of them remain untouched, untraveled, and unexplored.
Mount Roraima, Venezuela
.
Mount Roraima is the highest of a chain of plateaus in Southern America. It takes approximately two days to reach the base of the mountain from the closest village of Paraitepui, another day to climb the staircase-like ramp to the top, and another two days to return. Budget some extra time if you want to camp at the top. (
