My favorite new blog of the week is besthike.com, which has just published a post about the similarity of the buttes & mesas of the Colorado Plateau to the tepuis of South America. But, most interesting to anyone thinking about trekking Roraima is their detailed page on hiking Roraima with some great links.

Here’s a list of some of the interesting people and their blogs traveling around South America:
