About
Waraqayuq is a mountain located in the Cordillera Blanca range of the Andes in Peru, reaching an altitude of approximately 4,600 meters. While the text mentions the presence of an archaeological site on the northern slopes of the mountain, specific details about the site's features or historical significance are not provided. The mountain is situated in the Ancash Region, specifically in the Huari Province and Chavin de Huantar District, east of Yanamaray mountain. The location's name, derived from Quechua, suggests cultural significance related to traditional artifacts such as a sack or sling. However, without further information on structures or artifacts present, it is difficult to elaborate on its archaeological importance.
