Ch'uch'u

Ch'uch'u rises to an elevation of 5,100 meters in the northern section of the Cordillera Real mountain range within the La Paz Department.

The mountain's name originates from Aymara language, reflecting the indigenous presence in the region that predates Spanish colonization by several centuries.

This peak serves as the source of Ch'uch'u Jawira river, holding particular importance for local agricultural communities who depend on its water resources.
