To access Mount Roraima you need either a local guide or to go on a tour. Local guides can be found for cheap in Paraitepuyn (the launching point for all trips).

Runner Notes

Good even trail with some river crossings and muddy spots

Description

You start the day with a crossing of the Tek river which can be high after a rain. After less than 1.5 miles you have to cross another significant river - the Kukenan River.

Continue through the stark, open landscape that is spotted with springs marked by verdant blooms of vegetation.

Follow the braided trails that head uphill at a good railroad grade. Soon the mountain grows above you and you arrive at base camp.
