It is situated in the Oruro Department, Sajama Province, Curahuara de Carangas Municipality, Sajama Canton, north-west of the extinct Sajama volcano.[1][3] Pumuta lies south-west of the mountain Jach'a Kunturiri and north-east to east of the mountains Kunturiri and Jisk'a Kunturiri.
The Kunturiri River originates south of the mountain. It flows to the south and then to the east as a tributary of the Sajama River.
