Roraima Mountain, Venezuela
From series “Top 15 Most Fantastic Creations of Nature”Height: 2,723 meters.
An iconic sight of Venezuela, which is known far beyond the borders of the country, is Roraima mountain. It shoots up for 2 723 meters. The main feature of the mountain is its absolutely flat top occupying an area of about 34 square km. Since ancient times, the locals considered the mountain to be the sacred place. Numerous amazing superstitions and legends are associated with it.
The scenic mountain and its incredibly beautiful foothill areas attract both ordinary tourists and researchers from around the world. First show interest mostly in the incredible scenery that can be captured by photo and video camera. Researchers are attracted by rare endemic plants, which can not be found anywhere else in the world. It’s also worth noting that all travelers have an opportunity to climb to the top of the mountain and walk along the vast plateau. It’s unlikely to enjoy views of the surrounding area from a height, as the top of the mesa is almost always hidden in thick clouds.
