Its northwestern border is marked by the Chixoy River basin in Uspantán, which separates it from the Sierra de los Cuchumatanes. Its eastern border is marked by the Salamá River which separates it from the Sierra de las Minas. Its southeastern border is defined by the Motagua River valley.[1] The main crest of the Sierra the Chuacús is located along the El Quiché and Baja Verapáz border, and extends at an elevation above 2,100 m for more than 50 km. Its highest peak reaches up to 2504 m. Located between the Motagua Fault and the Chixoy-Polochic Fault, the Chuacús mountains were formed by complex tectonic and geological processes that started in the Late Cretaceous.[2][3][4] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Ecogeographic Regions of Guatemala|publisher=University of Texas|url=http://www.uta.edu/biology/campbell/guatemala/regions.html}} 2. ^{{cite web|title=Middle-Late Ordovician magmatism and Late Cretaceous collision in the southern Maya block, Rabinal-Salamá area, central Guatemala: Implications for North America–Caribbean plate tectonics|publisher=Geological Society of America|url=http://bulletin.geoscienceworld.org/cgi/content/abstract/120/5-6/556}} 3. ^{{cite web|author=Roper, Paul J.|title=Geology of El Progreso Quadrangle North of the Motagua River|work=|publisher=|url=http://desastres.unanleon.edu.ni/pdf2/2005/septiembre-octubre/parte1/pdf/eng/doc5176/doc5176-contenido.pdf.|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110724143237/http://desastres.unanleon.edu.ni/pdf2/2005/septiembre-octubre/parte1/pdf/eng/doc5176/doc5176-contenido.pdf.|archivedate=2011-07-24|df=}} 4. ^{{cite journal|author=Valls, R.|title=Geological evolution of the NW corner of the Caribbean Plate|journal=Geophysical Research Abstracts|volume=9|issue=02107|year=2007|url=http://www.cosis.net/abstracts/EGU2007/02107/EGU2007-J-02107.pdf }} See also
