Suni Q'awa, Mountain summit in Pacajes Province, Bolivia.
Suni Q'awa reaches an elevation of 5,018 meters in the Andes mountains, north-west of Anallajsi volcano and north-east of Ch'uxña Quta mountains.
The mountain region bears evidence of ancient indigenous settlements, particularly the Aymara people who established communities throughout the surrounding Andean territories.
The name originates from Aymara language terminology, where 'suni' refers to unpopulated areas and 'q'awa' describes small rivers or mountain ravines.
Mountaineers need proper high-altitude equipment and acclimatization time before attempting to reach the summit, located at coordinates 17°51′49″S and 68°58′12″W.
The mountain serves as a natural marker between different ecological zones, creating distinct microclimates that support specialized plant and animal species.
