Aparamán-tepui

Aparamán-tepui is the westernmost of the four main tepuis of the Los Testigos chain in Bolívar, Venezuela.^[1] While the other three tepuis share a common slope area, Aparamán is derived from a separate basement. Aparamán-tepui has an elevation of around 2,100 metres (6,900 ft), a summit area of 1.25 km² (0.48 sq mi), and an estimated slope area of 28 km² (11 sq mi).^[1] Its mostly bare summit plateau is highly dissected, presenting difficulties even for helicopter landings.^[1]

In his 1978 book, La Vegetación del Mundo Perdido, Charles Brewer-Carías referred to a smaller lateral peak of Aparamán-tepui (05°52′32″N 62°06′48″W) as Murochiopán-tepui, though this name is now more commonly applied to the major peak immediately east of it.^[1]
