Mount Laram Q'awa

Mount Laram Q'awa rises to an elevation of 5,182 meters above sea level, featuring steep slopes and rocky terrain in the northern Chilean Andes mountain range.

The mountain stands as a natural border marker between Chile and Bolivia, with its location documented in the Bolivian IGM cartographic maps from the early 20th century.

The name derives from Aymara language, with 'larama' meaning blue and 'q'awa' referring to a small river, reflecting the indigenous heritage of the region.

Visitors require high-altitude equipment and proper acclimatization before attempting to reach the summit, as oxygen levels decrease significantly at this elevation.

The Kunturiri River originates from the northeast section of Mount Laram Q'awa, flowing along the northern slopes through the Chilean territory.
