Ch'iyar Juqhu or Nevado de Chiaraco[2] (Aymara ch'iyara black, juqhu muddy place,[3] "black muddy place", hispanicized spellings Chearoco, Chearaco, Chiaroco, Chiaraco) is a mountain in the Andes of Bolivia. It has a height of about 6,127 metres (20,102 ft) metres.[4] Ch'iyar Juqhu lies between the mountains Qalsata in the north-west and Chachakumani in the south-east.

The Aymara name of the mountain correlates with the names of the nearby area (Chiar Jokho) and the river Ch'iyar Juqhu (Chiar Jokho, Chiar Joko) which originates near the mountain.
