I remember reading about this when I was a child.

Tepui in Venezuela

Such a romantic place.

In 1884 British explorers Everard IM Thum and Harry Perkins became the first Europeans to hike the Tepui. After that, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle heard tales of their high-altitude trek through mesmerizing, misty cloud forest. Consequently, he was inspired to write “The Lost World,” from which Jurassic Park took its cue.

That is super cool - the video at the end gives a much better overview of the place

Try Rider Haggard's Heart of the World. The writing is slightly dated, but the adventure remains! I first read it as a seven year old and the thought of a lost city, a lost culture has stuck with me through the decades.

That is a hell of an achievement for a writer...

Great video.

We read Rider Haggard as a class when I was in Form one but it was about Africa, King Solomon's Mines.
