Ptari-tepui, also spelled Pu-tari and sometimes called Cerro Budare or Cerro del Budare, is a tepui in Bolívar state, Venezuela. it has a maximum elevation of around 2400 m above sea level.
Description
Ptari-tepui gives its name to the Ptari Massif, which also includes Carrao-tepui to the northeast and a long ridge known as Sororopán-tepui to the southeast. As a whole, the massif has a summit area of around 2.5 sqkm and an estimated slope area of 58 sqkm (Carrao and Ptari together contributing 28 sqkm and Sororopán, which is derived from a separate basement, a further 30 sqkm).
Ptari-tepui is a prime example of the classic tepui shape, having an almost perfectly flat-topped summit and near-vertical walls. This characteristic profile is said to recall the shape of a budare, a type of griddle used for making cassava bread, and is the source of its Pemón-derived name. For this reason it is also sometimes known as Cerro Budare or Cerro del Budare.
