Uei-tepui

Uei-tepui, also known as Wei-tepuy or Cerro Uei, is a tepui located in the Bolivar state of Venezuela. It is part of the Eastern Tepuis chain and lies near the border with Guyana.

The name "Uei-tepui" is derived from the indigenous Pemon language. The tepui is characterized by its flat, table-top summit, steep vertical cliffs, and unique ecosystem. Like other tepuis in the Guiana Highlands, Uei-tepui is composed primarily of Precambrian sandstone and is home to many endemic plant and animal species adapted to its isolated environment.

Uei-tepui is relatively remote and difficult to access, contributing to the preservation of its unique biodiversity. Expeditions to study its flora and fauna have been conducted, revealing new and rare species. The tepui's isolation and challenging terrain contribute to its scientific interest.
