The Serranía de Iniricarsama is a system of ridges in the South American Andean state of Bolivia .
location
The Serranía de Iniricarsama is one of the Bolivian Voranden chains and lies between the Serranía del Imajana in the southwest and the Serranía Racete in the southeast. It extends in a northwest-southeast direction in the Departamento Cochabamba over the counties ( Bolivian : Municipios ) Chimoré , Pojo and Puerto Villarroel . In the southwest, the ridge is bounded by the Río Chimoré and the Río Osos , to the southeast by the Río Alizar , and to the northeast by the Río Sajta . To the north, the ridge opens to the Ivirgarzama plain , the total length of the ridge is around fifty kilometers, its width around ten kilometers. The highest point is the Cerro Sore Orkho ( 1890 m ) in the southeastern part of the Serranía de Iniricarsama.
geography
The Serranía de Iniricarsama follows the folding direction of the Andes high mountains without reaching the absolute height of the central Andean regions, its northeast flank drowns in the erosion material that has been washed into the Bolivian lowlands over millions of years. Numerous smaller rivers drain from the Serranía de Iniricarsama in a north-easterly direction, such as the Río Icersama , Río Ivirgarsamita , Río Ivirgarzama , Río Sajtita and Río Sajta Grande . The ridge together with the Serranía del Imajana to the southwest and parts of the Serranía Racete have been protected as the Carrasco National Park ( Parque Nacional Carrasco ) since 1991 .
Development
The Serranía de Iniricarsama is almost uninhabited and only accessible by unpaved roads, the diverse flora and fauna of the semi-humid subtropical mountain forests are still little developed by tourism.
