Conchamarca District

Conchamarca District is an administrative area in Ambo Province, located in the Huánuco Region at approximately 2,226 meters (7,304 feet) elevation in the Andes. The territory encompasses mountainous terrain with several communities spread across valleys and slopes.

The district was officially established in 1940 as part of the administrative reorganization of Ambo Province. This formalization helped define territorial boundaries and local governance structures in the Huánuco Region.

The district holds both Spanish and Quechua speaking communities, with Spanish speakers representing approximately 75 percent of the local population.

The district connects to neighboring areas through local roads linking to Amarilis, Molino, Tomay Kichwa, Ambo, Huacar, and Pillco Marca. Visitors should be prepared for mountain conditions given the high elevation and terrain.

The Wamanripayuq peak rises to about 4,960 meters (16,273 feet) and stands as a notable geographical feature within the district. This prominent mountain serves as a natural landmark visible from surrounding communities.
