Chuañuma (possibly from Aymara ch'uwaña oozing of water and other liquids / melting of metals and other things, uma water, "oozing water") is a mountain in the Huanzo mountain range in the Andes of Peru, about 5000m (16,000feet) high. It is located in the Arequipa Region, La Unión Province, Puyca District. It is situated south of the river Ojoruro (possibly from Aymara and Quechua for Mimulus glabratus),[2] [3] also known as Sumana or Cotahuasi,[1] [4] which flows to the Cotahuasi Canyon in the southwest. Chuañuma lies southwest of Pillune, west of Quelcata and northeast of Condori.[1]
