The Huallanca mountain range (possibly from Quechua, wallanka mountain range;[1] a cactus plant (Opuntia subulata);[2] also called Chaupi Janca or Shicra Shicra (possibly from Quechua sikra woven basket)[3] lies in the Andes of Peru. It is located in the Ancash Region, Bolognesi Province. The Huallanca mountain range is a small range southeast of the Cordillera Blanca and north of the Huayhuash mountain range extending between 9°52' and 10°03'S and 76°58' and 77°04'W for about 19 km[4] in a northeasterly direction.

East of the town of Aquia there is a small range called Huaman Hueque (possibly from Quechua waman falcon or variable hawk, wiqi tear).[1][5] It is sometimes considered a sub-range of the Huallanca range.[6] The Huaman Hueque range is dominated by Kikash.
