Ptari-tepui, also spelled Pu-tari and sometimes called Cerro Budare or Cerro del Budare, is a tepui in Bolívar state, Venezuela.[1][2] Lying near the centre of the Sierra de Lema,[2] it has a maximum elevation of around 2,400 metres (7,900 ft) above sea level.[1] Its mostly bare summit plateau has an area of 1.25 km2 (0.48 sq mi).[1] Though generally flat, distinctive erosional rock formations are found on the more dissected eastern edge of the summit.[1]
