It is located in the Puno Region, Sandia Province, Cuyocuyo District. It lies northwest of the mountain Wilaquta and northeast of Qurwari and Janq'u Uma. Little streams named Qullqipirwa (Jolljepirhua), Janq'u Uma (Janjouma) and Utkhuqaqa (Utjujaja) flow along its slopes. They are the origin of the river Lawa Lawani which runs to the north.[1][4] It belongs to the watershed of the Inambari River.[5]
