Sororopán-tepui

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sororopán-tepui is a 10-kilometre (6.2 mi) long ridge in Bolívar state, Venezuela.[1] It has a maximum elevation of around 2,050 m (6,730 ft) and its densely forested slopes cover an estimated area of 30 km2 (12 sq mi). The ridge has a southwest–northeast orientation and is characterised by a steep southern face. Part of the Ptari Massif, it lies just south of Carrao-tepui and neighbouring Ptari-tepui.[1]

The flat, symmetrical peak of Ptari-tepui is visible on the left, with the long southwestern face of Sororopán-tepui extending to the right.
