Otoroncane (possibly from Aymara uturunqa, uturunqha, uturunqu, uturunqhu tiger[2] (here referring to the jaguar), -ni a suffix to indicate ownership, "the one with the jaguar") is a 5,305-metre-high (17,405 ft) mountain in the Vilcanota mountain range in the Andes of Peru. It is situated in the Puno Region, Carabaya Province, Corani District. Otoroncane lies northwest of the mountains Pomanota, Jampatune and Sapanuta.
