The Eastern Tepuis (Spanish: ''Tepuyes Orientales''〔 Brewer-Carías, C. (2012). ''Río Verde'' 8: 77–94.〕), also known as the Roraima–Ilú range, is a mountain chain stretching for some along the border between Guyana, Venezuela and, to a lesser extent, Brazil.〔Huber, O. (1995). Geographical and physical features. In: P.E. Berry, B.K. Holst & K. Yatskievych (eds.) ''Flora of the Venezuelan Guayana. Volume 1. Introduction.'' Missouri Botanical Garden Press, St. Louis. pp. 1–61.〕 It runs in a northwesterly direction from the tripoint of these countries, closely following the Guyana–Venezuela border, with a single major peak (Uei-tepui) to the south, on the Brazil–Venezuela border. Moving northwest from Uei-tepui (2,150 m), the main summits of this chain are Roraima-tepui (2,810 m), Kukenán-tepui (2,650 m), Yuruaní-tepui (2,400 m), Wadakapiapué-tepui (2,000 m), Karaurín-tepui (2,500 ), Ilú-tepui (2,700 m), and Tramen-tepui.〔 The minor peak of Wei-Assipu-tepui lies entirely outside Venezuela, on the border between Brazil and Guyana. Additionally, there are a number of minor plateaus which form a chain between Uei-tepui and Roraima-tepui.〔McPherson, S., A. Wistuba, A. Fleischmann & J. Nerz (2011). ''Sarraceniaceae of South America''. Redfern Natural History Productions, Poole.〕 Ilú- and Tramen-tepuis are often treated together since they are joined by a common base.〔 The Eastern Tepuis chain has a total summit area of around and an estimated slope area of .〔 It includes some of the best known and most widely visited tepuis, particularly Roraima and nearby Kukenán. ==See also==
