CHAPTER 10

The Real Lost World

Roraima was first documented by English explorer Sir Walter Raleigh in 1595, who described the mountain and one of its many towering waterfalls in The Discovery of Guiana:

We saw it afar off; and it appeared like a white church-tower of an exceeding height. There falleth over it a mighty river which toucheth no part of the side of the mountain, but rusheth over the top of it, and falleth to the ground with so terrible a noise and clamour, as if a thousand great bells were knocked one against another. I think there is not in the world so strange an overfall, nor so wonderful to behold.
