Muyu Urqu, Mountain summit in Cusco Region, Peru.

Muyu Urqu is a mountain summit in the Cusco Region that stands at about 3,400 meters (11,150 feet) elevation on the right bank of the Watanay River. The peak displays a steep rocky formation that rises above the surrounding terrain.

The mountain holds archaeological remains from ancient peoples who lived in the Cusco region before Spanish arrival. These traces show how pre-Hispanic communities settled and used this Andean landscape.

The name is Quechua: muyu, "circle", and urqu, "mountain", giving "circle mountain". Spanish records also render it as Muyuorco, Muyu Orcco or Muyu Orqo. The hill lies east of Araway Qhata, on the right bank of the Watanay River in Santiago District, Cusco Province.

Visitors should take time to acclimate to the high altitude before attempting to climb this peak. Starting from Cusco offers the most practical approach and allows gradual altitude adjustment.

On the central slope of Muyu Urqu, large pale letters are cut into the ground reading "EL PERU", with fainter smaller letters higher up. The hill also holds archaeological remains and stands east of Araway Qhata, on the right bank of the Watanay River.
