Yuruaní-tepui
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yuruaní-tepui, also known by the Pemón name Iwalkarima, Iwalecalima[2] or Iwarkárima,[3] is a tepui of the Eastern Tepuis chain primarily situated in Venezuela, while part of the eastern ridge stretches across the border with Guyana and into the contested Essequibo region.[1] It has an elevation of around 2,400 metres (7,900 ft), the high plateau being located entirely within Venezuela, and a summit area of 4.38 km2 (1.69 sq mi). It lies just east of the much smaller Wadakapiapué-tepui.[1] This Tepui is not located in the Canaima National Park unlike most other Tepuis in the area.[4]
