Ch'uch'u Jawira originates north of the main range of the Cordillera Real near the mountains Ch'uch'u and Llachasani. Along the mountains Wila Wilani and Jach'a Waylla Punta it flows to the village of Janq'uma (Ancoma) in the southeast. From now on its direction is to the northeast. Before reaching Janq'uma it receives waters from Q'asiri Jawira (Khasiri Jauira) from the left and from Janq'u Uma Jawira ("white water river", Anco Humu Jahuira) which originates between the mountain Wila Quta and the Janq'u Uma-Illampu massif.[5]
