Urubamba River
The Urubamba River or Willkamayu (Quechua for "sacred river")〔Diccionario Quechua - Español - Quechua, Academía Mayor de la Lengua Quechua, Gobierno Regional Cusco, Cusco 2005 (Quechua-Spanish dictionary): ''Willkamayu'' - ''s. Geog. (Río Sagrado) Vilcanota''〕 is a river in Peru. Upstream it is called by its Aymara name Willkanuta ("house of the sun",〔Ludovico Bertonio, Transcripción del vocabulario de la lengua aymara (Spanish-Aymara dictionary): ''Willkanuta'' - ''Adoratorio muy célebre entre Sicuana y Chungara. Significa casa del Sol, según los indios bárbaros.'' ''Willka'' - ''Adoratorio dedicado al Sol u otros ídolos. / El Sol como antiguamente decían y ahora dicen inti. '' Uta - ''Nombre. Casa cubierta.''〕 hispanicized ''Vilcanota''). Within the La Convención Province〔Ministerio del Ambiente, ''Estudio linea base ambiental de la cuenca del río Vilcanota'', Lima-Peru, 2010 (in Spanish)〕 the naming changes to Urubamba. A partially navigable headwater of the Amazon River, it rises in the Andes to the southeast of Cuzco. It originates in the mountain Khunurana in the Puno Region, Melgar Province, near the La Raya pass.〔 It flows north-north-west for 724 kilometers before coalescing with the Tambo River to form the Ucayali River.
John Walter Gregory, the British geologist, drowned in the river on June 2, 1932 while on a geological expedition to the Andes.
The Urubamba is divided into Upper Urubamba and Lower Urubamba, the dividing feature being the Pongo de Mainique, an infamous whitewater canyon.
==Upper Urubamba==
The Upper Urubamba (''Alto Urubamba'') valley features a high population and extensive irrigation works. A number of ruins of the Inca Empire lie in the valley, including the Incan city of Machu Picchu, Patallaqta, Pikillaqta and Raqch'i.
