About Huancabamba
The Huancabamba River in the Pasco Region of Peru has its origin in the confluence of several small rivers near the town of Oxapampa: the Chontabamba, the Llamaquizú, and the Esperanza rivers. From an elevation of 1,807 metres (5,928 ft) at Oxapampa, the Huancabamba River runs northward for approximately 77 kilometres (48 mi) by road paralleling the river to the village of Pozuzo. The Huancabamba is joined by the Santa Cruz River 4 kilometres north of Pozuzo at an elevation of 700 metres (2,300 ft) and thereafter is called the Pozuzo River. In its lower course the Pozuzó is called the Pachitea River which joins the Ucayali River, a major component in the Amazon River drainage basin.
