Sororopán-tepui is a 10-kilometre (6.2mi) long ridge in Bolívar state, Venezuela.[1] It has a maximum elevation of around 2,050m (6,730ft) and its densely forested slopes cover an estimated area of 30km2 (12sqmi). The ridge has a southwest–northeast orientation and is characterised by a steep southern face. Part of the Ptari Massif, it lies just south of Carrao-tepui and neighbouring Ptari-tepui.[1]
