Tunari, Mountain peak in Cochabamba Department, Bolivia.

Tunari is a mountain in the Tunari range of the Bolivian Andes, reaching about 5,023 m and forming the second-highest point of Cochabamba Department. It stands in Quillacollo Province, northwest of Quillacollo and southeast of Wayna Tunari, and holds snow and ice only sporadically above 4,500 m.

The name Tunari derives from two Aymara words recorded by Ludovico Bertonio in his 1612 dictionary: tunu, meaning root or stem, and lari, referring to the female origin of a social group. Together they denote the female ancestor of a community or ayllu, represented by the mountain. The range runs west toward the La Paz department and descends southeast to the 4,448 m Juno peak in Tiraque province.

The name Tunari comes from Aymara: tunu, meaning root or stem, and lari, referring to the female origin of a social group, together naming the female ancestor of a community or ayllu, represented by the mountain. The peak is a symbol of Cochabamba identity.

Climbers typically access Tunari from nearby villages with guided tours during the dry season from May to September, requiring proper acclimatization to prevent altitude sickness.

The name Tunari may come from Aymara: in Ludovico Bertonio's 1612 dictionary, tunu means root or stem and lari refers to the female origin of a social group, together naming a community's female ancestor embodied by the mountain. Snow and ice on the summit last only weeks.
