The plains descending from the RÃo Salamá valley create the Baja Verapaz, which is marked by river-cloven valleys and dry hills in a country of tropical vegetation as it extends
southward. Excellent examples of religious images and altarpieces from the Hispanic period can be found in the colonial temples of the Baja Verapaz department. The colonial-style parish church of Salamá, the
department capital, is a national monument.
