Description
Roraima is a state located in the northern region of Brazil, bordered by Venezuela to the northwest, Guyana to the south, and the Brazilian states of Amazonas to the west and Pará to the east. It is known for its rich biodiversity and unique ecosystems, including the famed Roraima Mountain, which is one of the highest mountains in South America. This unique table-top mountain, or tepui, is part of the Pakaraima chain and features dramatic cliffs and flat summits.
The capital of Roraima is Boa Vista, which is situated in the central part of the state. Boa Vista is characterized by its urban development and serves as the main hub for commerce and services in the region. The city is one of the few planned cities in Brazil, designed during the mid-20th century. Roraima's economy is primarily based on agriculture, livestock, and mineral extraction, particularly gold and diamonds.
Roraima is home to various indigenous groups, which play a crucial role in the cultural landscape of the state. The indigenous peoples maintain their traditions and languages while also being active participants in the contemporary Brazilian society. The state's unique geographical features and cultural diversity make it a fascinating destination for ecotourism and cultural exploration.
