Huallanca mountain range

The 93rd highest mountain range in the world

5,470m

The Huallanca mountain range (possibly from Quechua, wallanka mountain range; a cactus plant (Opuntia subulata); also called Chaupi Janca or Shicra Shicra (possibly from Quechua sikra woven basket) lies in the Andes of Peru. It is located in the Ancash Region, Bolognesi Province. The Huallanca mountain range is a small range southeast of the Cordillera Blanca and north of the Huayhuash mountain range extending between 9°52' and 10°03'S and 76°58' and 77°04'W for about 19 km in a northeasterly direction. East of the town of Aquia there is a small range called Huaman Hueque (possibly from Quechua waman falcon or variable hawk, wiqi tear). It is sometimes considered a sub-range of the Huallanca range. The Huaman Hueque range is dominated by Kikash.
