-The western part of the mountain range belongs mainly to the [[Pacific Ocean|Pacific]] region, with the [[San Juan River (Colombia)|San Juan River]] standing out, while the eastern part belongs mainly to the [[Cauca River]] basin. The northern part and northwestern part belong to the Atlantic Slope, with the [[Atrato River|Atrato]] and [[Sinú River|Sinú]] rivers standing out. The Cordillera Occidental is separted from the coastal [[Baudó Mountains]] by the [[Atrato River]].
