Chachacomani is a tall mountain in Bolivia, South America. It is part of the Andes Mountains, a huge mountain range. This peak is located in the Cordillera Real, which means "Royal Range."
The mountain's name, Chachacomani, might come from the Quechua language. Chachakuma is the name of a medical plant.

Chachacomani is in the La Paz Department of Bolivia. It is found in the Larecaja Province, near the Guanay Municipality. You can find it southeast of another mountain called Chearoco. Some nearby mountains are Wari Umaña to the southwest and Qillwani to the northwest.
How Tall is Chachacomani?
Chachacomani is a very tall mountain. It stands about 6,074 meters (19,928 feet) above sea level. This makes it one of the "six-thousanders" in the Andes. These are mountains that are over 6,000 meters tall.
It is said to be one of the least climbed peaks in the Cordillera Real. This means not many people have reached its top. The area around the mountain has many deep valleys. These valleys create special weather conditions called microclimates. These conditions help form lakes and other features. Many different kinds of birds live in these areas.
