Ccarhuarazo

Ccarhuarazo, Mountain summit in Cordillera Blanca, Peru.

Ccarhuarazo is a snow-capped volcano in the Andes of Ayacucho, Peru, reaching about 5,112 m. It lies between Chipao District in Lucanas Province and the districts of Huacaña and Morcolla in Sucre Province. It is the second-highest mountain in Ayacucho after Sara Sara and a main watershed source of the Sondondo and Chicha rivers, which feed the Pampas.

Ccarhuarazo is a volcano in the Ayacucho Region, on the border of Chipao District in Lucanas Province and the Sucre Province districts of Huacaña and Morcolla. At 5,112–5,123 m it is the second-highest mountain in Ayacucho after Sara Sara. Its slopes feed the Sondondo and Chicha rivers, which join to form the Pampas.

The name Ccarhuarazo derives from Quechua qara ('leather') and warasu ('trousers'), giving 'leather trousers'. Spanish sources also record the Hispanicized spellings Carhuaraso, Carhuarasu and Qarwarazo. The mountain lies between Chipao District in Lucanas Province and the Huacaña and Morcolla districts of Sucre Province, Ayacucho.

Ccarhuarazo lies on the border of Chipao District in Lucanas Province and the Huacaña and Morcolla districts in Sucre Province, Ayacucho Region. Its meltwater feeds the Sondondo and Chicha rivers, which join to form the Pampas. Access is over high Andean roads from the provincial towns, so plan for altitude acclimatisation before approaching the 5,123 m summit.

Ccarhuarazo is the source of the Sondondo and Chicha rivers, which downstream join to form the Pampas. It is the second-highest mountain in Ayacucho after Sara Sara and one of the region's main watershed heads.
