Montaña

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Montaña 

a region of Andean foothills in eastern Peru, east of the Ucayali River and bordering on the Amazon plains. The low (1,000–1,500 m), gently sloping, anticlinal ranges, with cores of Cretaceous rocks and walls of Paleocene rocks, are separated by broad, flat depressions (the Cordillera Occidental is related to them structurally). The Montana, which has an annual precipitation of more than 3,000 mm, is covered with dense equatorial rain forests. There are oil deposits.
