Coxilha de Santana
The Coxilha de Santana is a small rise in the relief of the State of the Rio Grande C Sul which has its origin in Cerro Cunhatai, between the municipalities of Lavras C Sul, Bagé and Dom Pedrito, where it receives the name of Haedo. With the name of Serrilhada it passes between Rios Santa Maria and Pirai Grande, this last tributary of the Rio Negro, going in south-western direction to the Mount C Cemitério, with the sources of Arroio São Luiz. From there, it changes direction for the North-West, taking finally the name of Coxilha de Santana, marking the natural limit between the Brésil and the Uruguay. Always continuing in the same direction, it gives birth, on its southern slope, with the Rio Quaraí and, on its northern slope, with the Rio Ibicuí. It is also the source of two small River, Paipasso, towards Barra C Quaraí, in the south, and Japejú, towards the locality Barra C Ibicui, in north.
Coxilha de Santana, on its long course, has like culminating points Cerro C Itaquitiá (or Itaquatiá - 395 m), Cerro back Trindades, Cerro C Chapéu, Cerro das Palomas, Cerro da Cruz, Cerro C Depósito, Cerro C Chato and Cerro C Jarau, in the North of Quaraí. Since Cerro Chato, goes down towards South-west Coxilha de Haedo, where are born the brooks which will form the Rio Quaraí, natural border with Uruguay.
