It is on the geological Guiana Shield craton, and is the Venezuelan part of the biogeographic Guayana Highlands and their tepuis (mesas).
Its limits by the north and east is formed by the route of the rivers Orinoco, Atabapo and Negro Rivers; and by the south the borders with Brazil.
The region occupies almost half of the territory of Venezuela.[2]
