The name of the mountain correlates with the name of a small lake at its feet at 9°59′00″S 77°00′26″W, Tawqanqucha in Quechua (Hispanicized Laguna Taucán or Laguna Aguascocha Superior).[4] Awasqucha (Laguna Aguascocha Inferior) lies immediately east of it.[4] This is where the Ch'iyar Juqhu River (Aymara for "black swamp", also spelled Chiurucu, Chiúrucu, Chuirucu) originates. Its waters flow to the Marañón River.
