Caullaraju, Andean summit in Cordillera Blanca, Peru
The Caullaraju mountain rises to an elevation of 5,682 meters in the Cordillera Blanca range of northern Peru, near Lake Conococha.
The first documented ascent of Caullaraju occurred on July 18, 1961, when Domingos Giobbi, Macario Angeles, and Eugenio Angeles reached the summit.
The mountain's name derives from Quechua language elements indicating a snow-covered mountain associated with gulls in the indigenous terminology.
Mountaineers planning expeditions to Caullaraju base their operations from the nearby city of Catac, located within the Recuay Province of Peru.
The mountain stands with a prominence of 2,403 meters from its base, featuring multiple climbing routes established through the north face and northeastern ridge.
