Uei-tepui, also known as Wei-tepui, Cerro El Sol or Serra do Sol[2] is a tepui on the border between Brazil and Venezuela. It may be considered the southernmost member of the Eastern Tepuis chain.[1]
Uei-tepui has an elevation of around 2,150 metres (7,050 ft), a summit area of 2.5 km2 (0.97 sq mi), and an estimated slope area of 20 km2 (7.7 sq mi).[1] While the peak of Uei-tepui lies completely in Venezuelan territory, large part of the main ridge forms the boundary between Venezuela and Brazil.
