It is located in the Cusco Region, La Convención Province, on the border of the districts of Inkawasi and Vilcabamba.[8] Choquesafra lies west of the Panta group and south of a river named Rancahuayco. The Huajchay River originates northwest of the mountain. It flows to the southwest as a right affluent of the Apurímac River.[9]
