Surama Mountain
A small hill beside Surama village. Climb it at dawn for views over the Rupununi savannah and the Pakaraima Mountains.
Surama Mountain is a low hill near the village. Local guides usually lead groups out before dawn. The hike through the rainforest to the rocky summit takes about 1.5–2 hours. At the top, you can watch the sunrise light up the Surama savannah below, the distant Pakaraima Mountains, and the Iwokrama Forest. Along the way you may hear howler monkeys and spot birds. The path includes steep slopes and slippery rocks, so wear good shoes and bring plenty of water. The round trip takes about 4 hours.
