Kitarahu (Ancash Quechua kita dam,[2] Quechua rahu snow, ice, mountain with snow,[3] hispanicized spellings Quitarajo, Quitaraju, also Kitaraju) is a mountain in the Cordillera Blanca in the Andes of Peru, about 6,040 metres (19,816 ft) high. It is situated in the Ancash Region, Huaylas Province, Santa Cruz District.[4] Kitarahu lies north of the Yuraqmayu valley (Santa Cruz gorge) and the lakes named Ichikqucha, Hatunqucha and Kitaqucha, between Pukarahu in the west and Alpamayo (Allpamayu) in the northeast.
The name of the mountain Kitarahu correlates with the name of the nearby lake Kitaqucha (Quechua for storage lake, hispanicized Quitacocha).
