Its ridge stretches to the north-west.

Hatun Ch'aqu is situated south of the river Pukamayu ("red river", Pucamayu) which flows to the west as a right affluent of the Willkanuta River. An intermittent stream originates east of the mountains Hatun Ch'aqu and Tuqtu. Its waters flow to the river Ch'illkamayu in the south. Ch'illkamayu is also a right tributary of the Willkanuta River.
