Suerococha (Ancash)
Suerococha (possibly from Quechua suyru a very long dress tracked after when worn, qucha lake,) is a mountain in the west of the Huayhuash mountain range in the Andes of Peru, about 5,100 metres (16,732 ft) high, and the name of a small lake near the mountain. The mountain is located in the Ancash Region, Bolognesi Province, Pacllon District. Suyruqucha lies on a sub-range west of Yerupaja, northwest of Huacrish and Auxilio and northeast of Rajucollota.
The mountain might have been named after a little lake southwest of it. It lies in the Copa District of the Lima Region at 10°18′20″S 76°59′15″W / 10.30556°S 76.98750°W.
