Karaurín-tepui, Mountain summit in Bolívar, Venezuela.

Karaurín-tepui reaches 2,500 meters above sea level with a summit plateau measuring 1.88 square kilometers covered in shrubby vegetation.

The tepui formation emerged through millions of years of geological processes, resulting in the distinctive flat-topped mountain structure visible today.

This mountain belongs to the Eastern Tepuis chain, where the term tepui originates from the Pemon indigenous language meaning table-top mountain.

The remote location near the Guyana border requires specialized travel arrangements and thorough preparation for any exploration attempts.

The summit plateau functions as an isolated ecosystem, creating conditions for plant and animal species that developed separately from the surrounding areas.
