Qañawimayu originates in the south-west of the Santo Tomás District in the Chumbivilcas Province of the Cusco Region between the mountains Minasniyuq and Qullpa K'uchu at a height of 4,940 metres (16,207 ft).[6] At first it flows northwards. South of the mountain Wamanripa it turns to the northeast. It receives waters from the confluence with Sinqa Wayq'u. Near the town of Santo Tomás it turns to the north again. The confluence with the Apurímac River is at a mountain named Tinkuq (Tincoc) on the border of the districts of Tambobamba, Ccapi and Huanoquite.
