Caballococha[1] (Cabalo Cocha[2]) is a town in the Loreto Region in northeastern Peru, located on the Amazon River and right across the river from Colombia.

[3] The name of the town is a combination of Spanish and Quechua, meaning "Horse Lake", a nearby body of water.

It is a poor town and people live by farming, trading, and fishing.

[citation needed] The town saw itself participating in the Leticia Incident, an event which led to war between Peru and Colombia in 1932.

Today a statue exists in the main square dedicated to the soldiers who had to carry ammo and equipment through the jungle during the war.
