Kicha Qaqa (Quechua kicha open, qaqa rock, "open rock", hispanicized spelling Quechajaja) is mountain in the northern extensions of the Willkanuta mountain range in the Andes of Peru, about 4,600 metres (15,092 ft) high. It is located in the Cusco Region, Quispicanchi Province, Ocongate District. Kicha Qaqa lies south of Anta P'unqu and K'ark'apata, southwest of Ch'uñuna and east of Wila Sirka. It stretches along the Pampawasi valley whose intermittent stream flows to T'inkimayu (Tinquimayo) in the southwest. At the southern slope of Kicha Qaqa there is a lake named Jamp'atuni (Aymara for "the one with frogs", Ampatune).
