Kukenán, also known as Matawi or Cuquenán, is a tepui in Bolívar State, Guayana Region, Venezuela. It has an estimated surface area of 2185 hectares (equivalent to 21.85 square kilometres). It is high and about 3 km (1.9 mi) long. Kukenan Falls, which is 674m (2,211feet) high, is located at the south end of the tepui.[1]
Kukenán is located in Canaima National Park. Next to Kukenán, to the southeast, is Mount Roraima, a better known tepui. Kukenán is more difficult to climb, so it is ascended much less frequently than Mount Roraima.[2]
Canaima National Park is also home to the highest waterfall in the world, which is located in Auyán Tepui.[3]
Scenery on top of Kukenán provided inspiration for the 2009 film Up.
