Capital

The name of the district capital Molinopampa is made up of two words, of Molino, which in Spanish " mill " means and from Pampa, which simply means an undeveloped area of indeterminate size. This name comes from the fact that Molinopampa, which lies directly on the River Sonche flowing later in the Utcubamba until a few years ago was home to one of the most important water-powered mills in the area.

Today Molinopampa is known for its abundance of fish.

As in the whole area, so can also be found in Molinopampa ruins of the Chachapoyas culture.
