These steep, rocky ridges support lower montane rainforest and cloud forest, whereas the intervening valleys, most of which are extensively cultivated, contain remnants of dry tropical forest. Many small streams cascade down these slopes; major drainage systems flow south Rio Mayo) or east (e. G., Rio Cainarache) into the Rio Huallaga, which separates the Cordillera Central from the Cordillera Oriental. In northern Peru, the Cordillera Oriental terminates in a series of ridges with elevations of 1000 - 1200 m.
