Wila Quta

The Wila Quta summit reaches an elevation of 5,144 meters above sea level, standing south of the Jach'a River and north of Nacional Route 1 point.

The mountain has been a geographical reference point in the Cordillera de los Frailes range since pre-colonial times, marking territorial boundaries between indigenous communities.

The name derives from Aymara language elements 'wila' and 'quta', reflecting the indigenous linguistic heritage of the Andean region through generations.

Visitors need specialized mountain gear and proper acclimatization procedures when attempting to reach the summit due to extreme altitude conditions.
