Do I need climbing experience?

No technical climbing is required, but you need good physical fitness: the trek covers long days of walking on uneven terrain, river crossings and a steep ascent. Experienced trekkers and adventurous beginners can both do it with preparation.

When is the best time to climb Mount Roraima?

The drier season, from about September to March, is the best time. It can rain at any time of year on the mountain, so waterproof gear is essential.
