Lots of great info and interesting tidbits. Has a focus on eco tourism and supporting indigeounous groups which I really appreciate. Also isn't afraid to warn about bad practices and call out bad operations. As a bonus it includes segments about history which add to the richness of the location while being brief enough not to be side tangents. Only issues is that there are ocassion grammatical and spelling errors that can make things a little tough to understand, theese are rare enough to not get in the way to much tho. I have a much better idea of where I would want to go and what I would like to see when I go one day and will probably grab this again for a reread when that time comes.

Great read, now there is not a lot of information about La Gran Sabana, where mount Roraima is. My homeland has also inspired the locations re-created on the animation movie "UP" If any of you readers want to visit this magical place I humbly invite you https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/2896974 mi casa es tu casa
