Venezuela is a wonderful country with a diverse selection of pleasures - from its beautiful coastal beaches to the Andes Mountains to the wildlife-rich area known as Los Llanos. Venezuela is also home to some fascinating flat-topped mountains known as Tepuis. These very ancient mountains rise nearly straight up from the surrounding grasslands and their flat-topped peaks are entirely isolated from their surroundings. Consequently, life has evolved completely separately on the tops of these tepuis.

One of the tepuis is known as Roraima. It is now accessible by a moderately difficult multi-day hike. Roraima was first explored by an expedition financed by the National Geographic Society just after the beginning of the twentieth century. Explorers discovered an assortment of plant and animal life there that could be found nowhere else on earth. It became the basis for a book entitled "The Lost World" written in the early 1900's by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
