K'illi K'illi, Mountain summit in Cochabamba Department, Bolivia

K'illi K'illi is a mountain summit in the Bolivian Andes located where Arani, Villa Rivero, and Tacachi municipalities meet. The peak has a distinctive outline and sits at an elevation that presents serious challenges for visitors attempting to reach it.

The sources record no documented historical events, founding date or human use for K'illi K'illi; its record is geographic and linguistic. Its Quechua and Aymara name refers to the American kestrel (Falco sparverius), and the reduplication marks a group or complex of something. Spanish speakers call it Elefante dormido, "sleeping elephant", after its outline. The mountain lies on the border of the Arani, Villa Rivero and Tacachi municipalities, in Arani Province and Punata Province, Cochabamba Department.

The name comes from Quechua and Aymara languages and refers to the American kestrel, while Spanish speakers call the mountain 'Sleeping Elephant' because of its shape. These names show how local people view and describe the landscape around them.

K'illi K'illi lies on the border of the Arani and Punata provinces, where the Arani, Villa Rivero and Tacachi municipalities meet, so access is from these villages in the Cochabamba Department. The summit is not a marked or maintained trail; approach routes follow local paths across Andean terrain. The peak's Spanish nickname, Elefante dormido, helps identify its profile from the surrounding villages.

Two other peaks nearby share similar names: K'illi K'illi Urqu northwest of Arani and Jatun K'illi Killi to the northeast. These three summits together form a notable feature of the regional mountain landscape.
