Qutuni[2][3][4] (Aymara qutu heap, pile, -ni a suffix to indicate ownership, "the one with a heap", hispanicized spelling Cotoni, Cutuni), also called Tiklla (Quechua tiklla two-colored,[5] / eyelash[6] hispanicized Ticcla, Ticlla), is a mountain in the Andes of Peru, about 5,897 metres (19,347 ft) high. Strictly speaking the popular name Tiklla refers to a group of peaks of the Qutuni-Tiklla cirque.[2] The highest mountain of the massif is named Qutuni.

It is located in the Lima Region, Yauyos Province, on the border of the districts Ayaviri, Miraflores and Tanta. Qutuni lies southeast of the lake Tikllaqucha and the mountain Aqupallqa, northeast of the mountain Wayna Qutuni ("young Qutuni") and north of the mountain Llunk'uti and the lake Wask'aqucha. One of the nearest villages is Qutuni (Cutuni), situated west of the mountain.[7]
