Kunka (Aymara and Quechua for throat, gullet, neck, voice,[2][3] Hispanicized spelling Cunca) is a mountain in the La Raya mountain range in the Andes of Peru. It is situated at the La Raya Pass and the road and rail which connect Cusco with Lake Titicaca. It is located in the Cusco Region, Canas Province, Layo District, and in the Puno Region, Melgar Province, Santa Rosa District, and about 5,200 metres (17,060 ft) high. Kunka lies southwest of the mountains Yana Khuchilla and Chimpulla. Other neighboring mountains are Huch'uy K'uchu north of it and Hatun Ichhuna Kunka in the south.
