Pumarinri

Pumarinri reaches an elevation of 5,465 meters and features steep glacial terrain alongside numerous high-altitude passes through the Andes range.

The mountain received attention from international mountaineering expeditions during the 1980s, leading to established routes and documented climbing achievements.

The mountain name stems from Quechua language elements 'puma' and 'rinri', reflecting the indigenous peoples' practice of naming locations after animal characteristics.

Guided expeditions to Pumarinri operate between April and November, requiring proper acclimatization and technical climbing equipment for glacier traversal.

The summit provides views of neighboring peaks Yerupajá at 6,636 meters and Siulá Grande at 6,354 meters in the surrounding Huayhuash range.
