The Cuchilla de Palomeque is a range of hills in Uruguay .
The range of hills, also known as Cuchilla Nico Pérez or Cuchilla de Ramírez, after Orestes Araújo , is located in the area of the Lavalleja department . However, the maps show the Cuchilla de Palomeque as a chain of hills running parallel to the south of the Cuchilla Nico Pérez, especially since the official INE map uses both names separately. The Cuchilla de Palomeque is part of the Cuchilla Grande . The Cuchilla de Palomeque has its starting point at Cerro Nico Pérez and, according to Araújo, extends from there to the mouth of the Río Olimar into the Río Cebollatí . The Arroyo del Sauce , the Arroyo Molles (Olimar Chico) and the southern part of the Arroyo Molles de Godoy and its tributaries arise from it .
