Qurawiri Mountains

Qurawiri belongs to the mountain country of Apurímac in the southern Peruvian Andes. Its high slopes form part of a landscape cut into separate basins by tributaries of the Apurímac River. Before the Inca expansion, peoples including the Omasuyu and Qotanera occupied different valleys in this rugged region; the mountains divided their lands as well as the routes between them.
