Wila Qullu, Mountain summit near Curahuara de Carangas, Bolivia.

The Wila Qullu peak rises from the Bolivian altiplano, forming part of the mountain chain that includes the Parinacota volcano in Sajama National Park.

The summit has served as a natural boundary marker between different indigenous territories of the Carangas people throughout pre-Columbian history in the region.

Local communities maintain traditional ceremonies at the base of Wila Qullu, where they perform rituals connected to agricultural cycles and mountain spirits.

Climbers need specialized equipment and acclimatization time to reach the summit, with the base camp accessible through the town of Curahuara de Carangas.

The mountain's position near thermal springs and geysers creates an unusual geographical combination of volcanic activity and high-altitude environments.

GPS coordinates: -18.11261,-69.08821
