Wayllaqucha (Quechua waylla meadow, qucha lake, "meadow lake", hispanicized spelling Huaillaccocha) is a mountain in the Ch'ila mountain range in the Andes of Peru, about 5,100 metres (16,732 ft) high. It is situated in the Arequipa Region, Caylloma Province, Tapay District. Wayllaqucha lies northwest of Suriwiri and Minaspata and southeast of Wallatani. The valley south of the mountain is named Q'inqu Wayq'u ("zig-zag valley" or "zig-zag stream", also spelled Kencohuaycco). Its waters flow to the Mulluq'u River, an affluent of the Colca River.
