Ptari-tepui, Table mountain in Bolívar, Venezuela.
The Ptari-tepui summit plateau covers 1.25 square kilometers of flat terrain with erosional rock formations along its eastern edge at 2,400 meters elevation.
The mountain formation dates back millions of years, representing one of Earth's most ancient geological structures within the Guiana Highlands region.
The Pemón indigenous people named this mountain after its resemblance to a budare, a traditional griddle used for preparing cassava bread.
The summit remains inaccessible by foot due to vertical cliffs, requiring helicopter transportation for scientific expeditions and authorized exploration teams.
Two endemic species of carnivorous Heliamphora pitcher plants grow exclusively on this tepui, adapting to the nutrient-poor conditions of the summit.
