Name
Pacocahua or Patocahu possibly derives from Aymara language terms phaq'u, paqu, or p'aqu meaning the color light brown, reddish, fair-haired, or dark chestnut, and q'awa meaning little river, ditch, crevice, fissure, or gap in the earth,[3][4] the name thus meaning "brown brook" or "brown ravine".[1][2]
