Wiraqucha or Huiracocha is a mountain in the Andes of Peru, about 3,600 metres high [1]. It is situated in the Cusco Region, Quispicanchi Province, in the districts Andahuaylillas, Huaro and Urcos [1]. The Willkanuta River flows along the mountain [1]. The lake Quyllur Urmana lies at its feet [1]. On top of Wiraqucha there is a pair of rocks which resemble two toads, one of them looking at "Apu" Ausangate and the other one looking at "Apu" Pachatusan [1]. This pair has been considered a wak'a by the local people [1].
