Pariacaca,[1][2] Paria Caca,[3] Paryaqaqa,[4] Parya Qaqa,[3][5] (possibly from Quechua parya reddish; copper; sparrow, qaqa rock)[2][6][7] or Tullujuto[8] (possibly from Quechua tullu bone, qutu heap, "bone heap") is the highest mountain in the Pariacaca mountain range (or Huarochirí mountain range)[8] in the Andes of Peru, with a summit elevation of 5,751 metres (18,868 ft) above sea level.[1][8] It is situated on the border of the regions of Junín and Lima, southeast of Colquepucro and Corihuasi. In ancient times it was considered a sacred mountain.[5] Nicholas Royer, a Canadian man, disappeared in 2004 following a hike in the mountains. [9]
