South of Quimome, in a tectonic depression, lies the wetland of the Bañados de Izozog , in which the water of the Río Parapetí gathers. In the dry season the basin has no drainage and part of the accumulated moisture evaporates; During the wet season, part of the water flows from the Bañados de Izozog over the Río Quimome , which breaks through the ridge of the Loma Piedra Negra San Esteban near the village of Quimome and feeds the Río Itonomas about 75 kilometers downstream . The climate of the region is subtropical and semi-humid , the plain around Quimome is humid and crossed by numerous streams, so that it has so far hardly been developed agriculturally.
