Chinchaypujio (from Quechua Chinchay Pukyu, "Oncilla Spring"; colloquially "Chincha") is one of nine districts of the Anta Province in Peru and about 2 hours outside of Cusco.[1] Its capital, Chinchaypujio, hosts a weekly market (Mercado Ferial de Chinchaypujio)[2] as well as the regional government. The district is home to 9 communities: Chinchaypujio, Ocra, Paucarccoto, Parcotica, Waccahualla, Huancancalla, Sumaru, Pantipata and Huamumayo.[3] In its southernmost part, the Apurímac River crosses the district; a major trade road connecting the Cuzco Department with the Department of Apurímac crosses through the entire district from north to south.[4]
