Yuruaní-tepui, also known by the Pemón name Iwalkarima, Iwalecalima^[1] or Iwarkárima,^[2] is a tepui of the Eastern Tepuis chain primarily situated in Venezuela, while part of the eastern ridge stretches across the border with Guyana and into the contested Essequibo region.^[3] It has an elevation of around 2400m (7,900feet), the high plateau being located entirely within Venezuela, and a summit area of 4.38sqkm. It lies just east of the much smaller Wadakapiapué-tepui. This Tepui is not located in the Canaima National Park unlike most other Tepuis in the area.^[4]
