Wariri, Mountain summit in Tacna Department, Peru

Wariri rises to an elevation of 4,800 meters between Wilaquta Lake and Ñiq'i Quta within the Tarata Province of the Tacna Region.

The mountain name underwent changes through Spanish colonization, transforming from its original Aymara form to alternative spellings such as Huarire and Huairire.

The name originates from the Aymara language term 'wari,' meaning vicuña, reflecting the regional connection to these native Andean camelids.

The mountain location at coordinates 17°10'55''S and 70°01'25''W requires careful navigation through rural paths and local settlements for access.

The peak maintains a prominence of 263 meters and an isolation distance of 4.5 kilometers from its nearest higher neighbor, Cerro Ancocollo.

Location: Tacna Department

Elevation above the sea: 4,800 m
