An intermittent stream originates south of Yana Urqu. It flows through the Ninapampa (Ninabamba) or Qunchupata (Cunchopata) valley to reach the river Huch'uymayu (Quechua for "little river", Uchuymayu). Huch'uymayu is a right tributary of the Willkanuta River. The confluence is north of Quiquijana.[3]
