You may hire one to carry your personal articles. Alternatively you can experience Roraima by helicopter. This is by far the most exciting and comfortable way. This trip lasts 3-4 days, camping 2 or 3 nights on the summit. The luxury of the helicopter is, apart from the obvious, that we can camp wherever we like on the summit.
Backpackers are more restricted due to limited time and food supplies.
The surface area of Roraima is 112sq km. Again, for an in-depth review of what Mt Rorairna is like, see National Geographic magazine, May 1989.
