The Guiana Highlands is a vast plateau located in northeastern South America, primarily covering parts of Venezuela, Guyana, and Brazil. This region is characterized by its unique flat-topped mountains, known as tepuis, which rise dramatically from the surrounding landscape. The highlands are rich in biodiversity and contain many endemic species, making them an important area for conservation. The Guiana Highlands are also home to several significant rivers, including the Orinoco and Amazon river systems. The region's climate is tropical, with heavy rainfall and a variety of ecosystems, ranging from rainforests to savannas. The highlands are culturally significant, inhabited by various indigenous groups who have lived in harmony with the land for centuries.
