Expedition to Guyana - exploring Mount Roraima
In the late sixteenth century, explorer Sir Walter Raleigh led a mission to Guyana in search of El Dorado. Many believe he was taken to Mount Roraima. Frustratingly for Raleigh, he was unable to climb Roraima. Four hundred years later, the Serious Explorers, a team of young adventurers from the UK, have come to Mount Roraima. The Serious Explorers climb and reach the top of Roraima. They manage to see the remarkable landscape and endemic plants that the Elizabethan explorer never did get to see. They are the youngest expedition to have ever made it to the top of Mount Roraima.
