The Tomebamba River rises in the Cajas National Park, in the sector called "Tres Cruces", at 3,020 m (9,908 ft) altitude, and runs through the city of Cuenca. When it joins the Machángara River, it forms the Cuenca River, which is a tributary of the Paute River. The Tomebamba water after passing through other rivers reaches the Amazon River and then the Atlantic Ocean. Including the headwaters, its total length is 42 km (26 mi).
