Kunka, Mountain summit in La Raya mountain range, Peru.
Kunka rises 5,200 meters above sea level in the Andes Mountains, forming part of the natural border between Cusco and Puno regions of Peru.
The mountain has marked the traditional route between Cusco and Lake Titicaca, serving as a geographical reference point for travelers through centuries.
The name Kunka derives from indigenous languages Aymara and Quechua, reflecting the mountain's connection to ancient Andean civilizations and their linguistic heritage.
Travelers can observe the mountain from the Peru Rail train service connecting Cusco to Puno, which passes through the La Raya mountain pass.
A small green lake called Q'umirqucha sits between the mountain and the road, while the Hatun K'uchu stream flows north toward the Willkanuta River.
