Kuntur Sinqa (Quechua kuntur condor, sinqa nose, "condor nose", also spelled Condor Sencca, Condor-Sencca, Condor Senja) is a mountain in the Andes of Peru. It is located in the Ayacucho Region, Huanta Province, Luricocha District.[1] Kuntur Sinqa lies on the right bank of the Mantaro River, east of San Miguel de Mayocc and southwest of San José de Secce.
On August 16, 1945, a considerable landslide occurred on the northwest slope of Kuntur Sinqa. It dammed the Mantaro River for about 73 days.[2]
