Hills and montanious regions stress and embellish the lanscape, Cerro Catedral being the highest peak of the nation with 513,7 metres; following the Animas Hill with 501 metres located in the mountain range of the same name. The river network is dense. Big rivers that belong to the Atlantic runoff travel across the territory. Among them we can distinguish four basins: one of the River Plate, another of Uruguay river, another of Merín tounge and the last one of Negro river.
