When we walk above Mount Roraima, some things dont get out of our mind. What a unspeakable place it is, with unbelievable shapes and unforgettable sounds, all inside a deep silence behind a mysterious fog. More we hike and more we see that we have so much to discover. Imagine a wild place, where the time seems like have stopped a long time ago. A mountain which looks alive, alive like in the beginning of time, where slumbering sensations raise our souls, showing how strong and fragile we are at same time.
The reflections come naturally, even for the more incredulous traveler.

This trail is possible for almost all kind of people, but is needed to have conscience that is a very exhausting hike, which can cause a large physical stress.
