9 Epic Destinations That Feel Like You’re On Another Planet
6. Mount Roraima, Venezuela: A Journey to the Lost World
Mount Roraima, straddling the borders of Venezuela, Brazil, and Guyana, is a tepui—a table-top mountain—that rises dramatically from the surrounding rainforest. Its sheer cliffs and flat summit have inspired tales of prehistoric worlds and lost civilizations. The unique ecosystem atop the mountain is home to endemic species of plants and animals found nowhere else on Earth. Trekking to Mount Roraima's summit is an expedition into the unknown, where the landscape's stark beauty and isolation evoke a sense of awe and discovery, reminiscent of Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Lost World."
