The park includes Auyan-tepui, from whose rim Angel Falls (Kerepakupai Merú in Pemón) drops nearly 979 meters in the world’s highest uninterrupted waterfall.

It includes the Chimantá Massif, the La Gran Sabana plateau, and numerous other tepuis.

Roraima sits at the southeastern edge of the park, on the border with Guyana and Brazil.

Within the park live several thousand Pemón people, whose communities are distributed across the Gran Sabana and adjacent areas.

The relationship between the park administration and the Pemón communities has not been without tension — questions of land rights, resource use, tourism control, and the participation of Indigenous communities in decisions about the management of their traditional territory have been ongoing matters.

Venezuela, Guyana, and Brazil have each designated the areas of their territories adjacent to Roraima for conservation — the mountain sits within Guyana’s Pakaraima Mountains region and near Brazil’s Parque Nacional do Monte Roraima, though the protection frameworks and management approaches differ between countries.
