This range is known for its rugged terrain and rich biodiversity, serving as a natural barrier between the Amazon rainforest and the Orinoco River basin. The mountains are home to various ecosystems, including cloud forests and savannas, which support a wide array of plant and animal species. The Parima Mountains also play a crucial role in the hydrology of the region, influencing local weather patterns and water sources for surrounding communities.
