Difficulty Level
The Mount Roraima trek is considered an intermediate-level hike, meaning that a person with good physical conditioning and experience in long trails can complete it. You don’t need to be an athlete, but it’s important to be prepared for:
-
Hiking between 4 to 8 hours per day on uneven terrain, covering 10 to 18 km per day
-
River crossings, steep ascents and descents
-
Carrying a light personal backpack (between 5 to 10 kg)
-
Variable weather conditions, ranging from intense heat to extreme cold at the summit
If you are not used to long hikes, we recommend starting a training routine with hiking and muscle strengthening a few months before the trek.
For extra comfort, we offer a personal porter service to carry your backpack.
