Ch'uxña Quta, Mountain summit in Pacajes Province, Bolivia

Ch'uxña Quta rises to 4,952 meters above sea level in the Andes range, north-west of Sajama volcano and south-west of Suni Q'awa mountain.

The mountain stands as a witness to centuries of indigenous settlements in the La Paz Department, where local communities established their territories around natural landmarks.

The name originates from Aymara language elements: 'ch'uxña' meaning green and 'quta' meaning lake, reflecting the deep connection between nature and local linguistics.

Mountaineers need high-altitude equipment and proper acclimatization to reach the summit, considering the extreme weather conditions common in the Bolivian Andes.

The mountain's position at 17°52′39″S latitude and 68°58′23″W longitude makes it a reference point for geological studies in the Calacoto Municipality.

GPS coordinates: -17.87738,-68.97330
