Mount Roraima lies on the Guiana Shield in the southeastern corner of Venezuela's Canaima National Park. The tabletop mountains of the park are considered some of the oldest geological formations on Earth, dating back to some two billion years ago in the Precambrian Era. The mountain includes the triple border point of Venezuela, Brazil and Guyana.
