The Chimanta Massif is a highly fragmented complex of about eleven tepuis in Bolivar State, Venezuela, with a combined summit area of 615 square kilometers and roughly 915 square kilometers of surrounding slope. The Rio Tirica divides the massif into a larger, higher northern section and a smaller southern one, with its highest point, Murey-tepui, reaching 2,698 meters. The massif lies entirely within Canaima National Park and contains extensive quartzite cave systems, including Cueva Charles Brewer, the largest known quartzite cave in the world.
