From its source in Alta Verapaz, the Rio de la Pasion funs northward for about 80 km before changing course abruptly to the west, a course it then follows until it joins the Rio Salinas to form the Usumacinta. For most of the 20 km preceding this bend, the river funs (or crawls, for it is sluggish) along the foot of an escarpment, which reaches its greatest height of about 110 m above the river some 4 km before the bend. It was precisely on this highest ground that the city of Seibal came into being, with its outlying settlements spreading over a broad stretch of terrain to the west, which falls gradually toward the Arroyo Petexbatun.
