Mik'aya, Mountain summit in La Paz Department, Bolivia
Mik'aya reaches an elevation of 5,286 meters above sea level, standing as a prominent peak in the Cordillera Real mountain range of Bolivia.
The mountain has provided essential water resources through its glacial melt to local communities in the high plains and valleys since pre-Hispanic times.
The name Mik'aya originates from the Aymara language, meaning 'abyss in the water', reflecting the deep connection between indigenous peoples and the landscape.
Mountaineers accessing Mik'aya require high-altitude gear and should start their expedition from La Paz, following the route through Yanacachi Municipality.
A small glacial lake sits at 5,342 meters beside the mountain, feeding a stream that flows westward toward Qhunqhu Wiqara before turning southwest.
