Artesonraju[3][4][5][2] is a pyramidal mountain peak located near the city of Caraz in the Cordillera Blanca mountain range in the Peruvian Andes. It is located at the Peruvian province of Huaylas and its slopes are within two cities: Santa Cruz and Caraz. Its summit has an elevation of 6,025 metres (19,767 ft)[3] (or 5,999 metres (19,682 ft) according to the IGN-Peru map).[4] It is one of many prominent peaks (2772 metres) located within the boundaries of Peru's Huascarán National Park.[5]
Artesonraju has two distinguished climbing routes. Due to their difficulties, Artesonraju is seldom successfully climbed in comparison to other well known mountains in the Cordillera Blanca. This mountain serves as the inspiration mascot for the newer Paramount Pictures production logo.[6][failed verification]
