Sicarate

Sicarate belongs to the Cesar valley at the foot of the Serranía del Perijá. The Sicarare River descends from this mountain chain towards the lowlands, one of several rivers connecting the heights with the Cesar basin. Forested slopes give way to warmer valley country as the streams fall westward. The valley lies between the Perijá range and the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, whose waters also feed the Cesar.
