Araway Qhata, Mountain summit in Cusco Region, Peru
Araway Qhata reaches an elevation of 3,666 meters above sea level, forming a prominent geographical feature within the Andes mountain range of Peru.
The mountain has served as a significant landmark since pre-Columbian times, when indigenous peoples of the Cusco region used it for navigation and orientation.
The name derives from Quechua language elements, where 'araway' refers to hanging and 'qhata' denotes a slope or hillside in the local dialect.
Multiple hiking trails lead to various observation points around the mountain, offering clear views of the surrounding valleys and the city of Cusco.
A large inscription reading 'Viva El Peru Glorioso' marks the mountainside, visible from many points throughout the city of Cusco.
