The Cordillera Vilcanota (Spanish cordillera: "mountain range", Aymara: willkan uta "house of the sun")[1] is a mountain range located in Peru southeast of Cusco, on the boundary between the regions of Cusco and Puno.[2] It extends between 13°39' and 14°29'S and 70°31' and 71°20'W for about 80 km.[3] It includes 469 glaciers.[4]
To the east the rivers San Gabán and Azángaro are the natural boundary which separates it from the Carabaya range.[5] The La Raya range near the La Raya pass is sometimes included or listed separately.
