Course

Named Patu Uma the river originates from intermittent streams south of a mountain named Mula Chaka northeast of the village of Jach'a Uta in the Pacajes Province, Callapa Municipality, at 17°14′25″S68°16′50″W / 17.24028°S 68.28056°W / -17.24028; -68.28056 . [6] It flows towards the village of Inka Uyu in the southeast. While it surrounds the plains named T'ula Chita Pampa, T'utur Juqhu Pampa and T'ulan Chata Pampa it receives the names Ch'alla Jawira ("sand river") and Jach'a Qura ("big herb" (river)). East of Lupipi it gets that name. It flows to the west. East of Wankarani it turns to the south and then west again near the village of Chuqi Phuju ("gold spring", Choque Phuju, Choque Puju, Choquepujo) where the river is called after the village. From now on its direction is mainly to the southwest. Before it reaches the village of Llallawa it receives the name Llallawa Jawira. The confluence of the Llallawa Jawira and the Desaguadero River is in the Willk'i Pampa ("gap plain", Willkhi Pampa) near T'uturani (Totorani) on the border of the municipalities of Calacoto (Qala Qutu) and Callapa at 17°26′00″S68°32′00″W / 17.43333°S 68.53333°W / -17.43333; -68.53333 .
