Mancha

The Mancha summit rises to an elevation of 5,024 meters between the Uyuni and Napa salt flats in western Bolivia's Andes mountain range.

The Bolivian Institute of Geography mapped Mancha as part of their extensive 1:250,000 Estancia Sinalaco cartographic documentation of the Andes mountain system.

The mountain's name comes from Quechua language traditions of the indigenous people who have inhabited the Andean highlands for many generations.

Climbers accessing Mancha need advanced mountaineering equipment and proper acclimatization due to the extreme altitude and remote location in the Potosí Department.

The summit stands as a geographical boundary marker between two major salt flats, with Thuwa and Jaruma mountains forming neighboring peaks to the west.
