Mount Venamo (Spanish: Cerro Venamo) is a mountain in South America that forms part of the international boundary between Guyana and Venezuela.[1] The mountain is 1,890 metres (6,200 ft) high[2] and is the westernmost point in Guyana. The mountain is named after the Venamo River, which flows nearby. It is often wrongly synonymized with Waukauyengtipu, a different tabletop mountain within the territory of Guyana, situated approximately 25 km (16 mi) southeast of Mount Venamo.
