Mishuahuanga (Cerro Mishahuanga) is a mountain located in Cajamarca, Peru. It is an ultra-prominent peak.[1] It has an elevation of 4,109 m (13,481 ft).[2]

Description

Mishahunga is poorly known because of the humid forests and grasslands causing many species in the area to isolate. The Huancabamba River separates Cerro Mishahuanga from humid habitats to the northeast, while the Chotano and Chancay rivers separate Cerro Mishahuanga from the east and south. The eastern slopes contain a humid forest between 2400 - 3000 meters above sea level, and elfin forest, paramo, and puna grassland above 3000 meters.[3]
