Acora District is one of fifteen districts of the Puno Province in the Puno Region, Peru.[1] [2]
The city of Acora and the lands that are now part of the district were once the seat of the Caciques Catacora. Acora District was created by Law on May 2, 1854, during the tenure of Ramón Castilla.
One of the highest elevations of the district is Qurini at 5400m (17,700feet). Other mountains are listed below:[3]
The people in the district are mainly indigenous citizens of Aymara descent. Aymara is the language which the majority of the population (87.14%) learnt to speak in childhood, 12.32% of the residents started speaking using the Spanish language (2007 Peru Census).[4]
